                     Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Conrad Frederick Smith was convicted of one count of sexual battery of a minor child
sixteen or seventeen years of age, Idaho Code § 18-1508A(1)(a), and one count of lewd conduct
with a minor under sixteen, I.C. § 18-1508. The district court imposed consecutive unified
sentences of twelve years with three years determinate for sexual battery and eighteen years with
seven years determinate for lewd conduct. Smith appeals, contending that his sentences are
excessive.

                                               1
       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.
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, Smith’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
