                         Before HUSKEY, Judge; LORELLO, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Phillip Tino Madrid pled guilty to felony domestic violence. I.C. §§ 18-918(2) and 18-
903. In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court
sentenced Madrid to a unified term of seven years, with a minimum period of confinement of
two years, to run consecutively to an unrelated sentence. Madrid appeals, arguing that his
sentence is excessive.
       Sentencing is a matter for the trial court’s discretion. Both our standard of review and the
factors to be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of the sentence are well established and

                                                1
need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-
15 (Ct. App. 1991); State v. Lopez, 106 Idaho 447, 449-51, 680 P.2d 869, 871-73 (Ct. App.
1984); State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 568, 650 P.2d 707, 710 (Ct. App. 1982). When reviewing
the length of a sentence, we consider the defendant’s entire sentence. State v. Oliver, 144 Idaho
722, 726, 170 P.3d 387, 391 (2007). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record
in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
       Therefore, Madrid’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
