                       Before LANSING, Judge; GRATTON, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Cayde Lee Lish was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, I.C. § 18-4006(1), and use
of a deadly weapon, I.C. § 19-2520. The district court sentenced Lish to a unified term of
twenty-two years, with a minimum period of confinement of ten years. Lish filed an I.C.R 35
motion, which the district court denied. Lish 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.
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, Lish’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
