                 ________________________________________________

                       Before GUTIERREZ, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge;
                                   and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       Cornelio Luna pled guilty to trafficking in marijuana.       I.C. § 37-2732B(a)(1).      In
exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court sentenced
Luna to a unified term of four years, with a minimum period of confinement of one and one-half
years. Luna appeals.
       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
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.

                                                1
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, Luna’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
