PER CURIAM
Courtney B. Goff was convicted of felony domestic violence, Idaho Code §§ 18-903, 18-
918(2). The district court imposed a unified ten-year sentence with a five-year determinate term,
but after a period of retained jurisdiction, suspended the sentence and placed Goff on supervised
probation for seven years. Subsequently, Goff admitted to violating several terms of the
probation, and the district court consequently revoked probation, ordered execution of the
original sentence, and retained jurisdiction a second time. Following the second period of
retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended Goff’s sentence and placed him on supervised
probation for six years. Goff admitted to violating his probation and the district court revoked
1
probation and ordered the underlying sentence executed. Goff appeals, contending that the
district court abused its discretion in failing to reduce his sentence upon revoking 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 a 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).
When we review a sentence that is ordered into execution following a period of
probation, we will examine the entire record encompassing events before and after the original
judgment. State v. Hanington, 148 Idaho 26, 29, 218 P.3d 5, 8 (Ct. App. 2009). We base our
review upon the facts existing when the sentence was imposed as well as events occurring
between the original sentencing and the revocation of the probation. Id.
Applying the foregoing standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot
say that the district court abused its discretion either in revoking probation or in ordering
execution of Goff’s original sentence without modification. Therefore, the order revoking
probation and directing execution of Goff’s previously suspended sentence is affirmed.
