Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before LANSING, Chief Judge, GUTIERREZ, Judge and GRATTON, Judge PER CURIAM Donald Allen Grundvig was convicted of possession of methamphetamine, Idaho Code § 37-2732(c)(1). The district court imposed a unified sentence of seven years, with a minimum period of confinement of one and one-half years. Grundvig appeals, contending that the 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 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 1 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, Grundvig’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed. 2
