                   Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                  ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Elvin Frances Nebrensky pled guilty to sexual battery of a minor. I.C. § 18-1508A. in
exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court sentenced
Nebrensky to a unified term of life imprisonment, with a minmum period of confinement of six
years. Nebrensky 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-

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