Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge; and HUSKEY, Judge ________________________________________________ PER CURIAM Gregory A. Hubbard was found guilty of battery on a law enforcement officer. Idaho Code § 18-915(3), 18-903(a). The district court sentenced Hubbard to a unified sentence of three years with six months determinate. 1 Hubbard appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence. 1 Hubbard was also sentenced to a concurrent 180-day jail term for resisting or obstructing officers, but does not appeal that sentence. 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, Hubbard’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed. 2
