PER CURIAM
Anita Marie Taylor pled guilty to grand theft (Idaho Code §§ 18-2403(1), 18-
2407(1)(b)(1), 18-2409, 18-204), with a persistent violator enhancement (I.C. § 19-2514); two
counts of forgery (I.C. § 18-3601); criminal possession of a financial transaction card (I.C.
§§ 18-3125, 18-3128); possession of forged stolen notes, bank bills, or checks (I.C. § 18-3605);
and possession of amphetamine (I.C. § 37-2732(c)(1)), with a persistent violator enhancement
1
(I.C. § 19-2514). The district court imposed concurrent unified sentences of life with eight years
determinate. Taylor appeals, contending that her sentences are excessive.
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.
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, Taylor’s judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
