PER CURIAM
Stephen Paul Wilson was convicted of felony domestic violence, Idaho Code §§ 18-
918(2), 18-903(a); and aggravated assault, I.C. § 18-901(a). The district court imposed a unified
sentence of ten years with a minimum period of confinement of four years for domestic violence
and a consecutive indeterminate sentence of five years for assault. Wilson appeals, contending
that his 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-
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, Wilson’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
