                 ________________________________________________

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

PER CURIAM
       Shon Ronald Radcliff was found guilty of felony operating a motor vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol. Idaho Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005(6). The district court sentenced
Radcliff to a unified term of seven years, with two years determinate. After a period of retained
jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Radcliff on probation for seven
years. Radcliff appeals contending the length of his probation 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
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, the district court’s order suspending sentence after retained jurisdiction and
order of probation for seven years is affirmed.
