Sara B. Thomas, State Appellate Public Defender; Shawn F. Wilkerson, Deputy Appellate Public Defender, Boise, for appellant. Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General; Lori A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge; and GUTIERREZ, Judge PER CURIAM Mark D. Beavers was convicted of trafficking in marijuana, Idaho Code § 37- 2732(a)(1)(B); possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, I.C. § 37-2732(a)(1)(A); and delivery of marijuana, I.C. § 37-2732(a)(1)(B), with sentence enhancements. The district court sentenced Beavers to a unified term of twelve years with two years determinate for trafficking, a concurrent unified term of five years with two years determinate for possession with intent to deliver, and a consecutive sentence of three years determinate for delivery. Beavers appeals, contending that his sentences for trafficking and delivery of marijuana are excessive. 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- 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, Beavers’ judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed. 2
