                 ________________________________________________

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

PER CURIAM
       Charles M. Price pled guilty to domestic battery with traumatic injury. Idaho Code §§
18-903, 18-918(2). The district court sentenced Price to a unified term of seven years, with a
minimum period of confinement of three years, to run concurrently with a sentence imposed by
the Federal court. Price 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, Price’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
