PER CURIAM
Eric O. Olson pled guilty to sexual abuse of a minor under sixteen years of age. I.C. §
18-1506(1)(b). In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district
court sentenced Olson to a unified term of twenty-five years, with a minimum period of
confinement of three years. Olson 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.
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, Olson’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
