PER CURIAM
Fawzi Rehema Al-Sarajy was found guilty of trafficking in methamphetamine. I.C. § 37-
2732B(a)(4). The district court sentenced Al-Sarajy to a unified term of ten years, with a
minimum period of confinement of five years. Al-Sarajy filed an I.C.R. 35 motion for reduction
of his sentence, which the district court denied. Al-Sarajy appeals. 1
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
Al-Sarajy was also found guilty and sentenced for several misdemeanors. However, he
does not challenge these sentences on appeal.

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, Al-Sarajy’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
