PER CURIAM
Shane Joseph Page pled guilty to intimidating, impeding, influencing or preventing the
attendance of a witness. Idaho Code § 18-2604(3). The district court concluded that Page’s
conduct did not justify immediate probation and sentenced Page to a unified term of four years
with two years determinate and retained jurisdiction. Page appeals asserting that the district
court abused its discretion by retaining jurisdiction rather than imposing probation.
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
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, Page’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
