                    Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Francisco Garcia Zamora pled guilty to felony driving under the influence.            Idaho
Code §§ 18-8004, 18-5005(9). The district court sentenced Zamora to a unified term of ten years
with three years determinate.     Zamora appeals asserting that the district court abused its
discretion by imposing an excessive sentence.
       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, Zamora’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
