PER CURIAM
       Amanda Brianne Thomas pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37-
2732(c). In exchange for her guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court
sentenced Thomas to a unified term of seven years, with a minimum period of confinement of
two years. Thomas appeals, arguing that her sentence is 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, Thomas’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
