THIS IS AN UNPUBLISHED OPINION AND SHALL NOT BE CITED AS AUTHORITY
PER CURIAM.
In this consolidated appeal, Travis Lynn Wheeler was convicted of escape, Idaho Code § 18-2505(1), and burglary, I.C. § 18-1401. The district court sentenced Wheeler to a unified term of three years with a minimum period of confinement of one year for escape. Wheeler filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction of the sentence, which he later withdrew. In the burglary case, the district court sentenced Wheeler to a concurrent unified term of five years with a minimum period of confinement of two years. Wheeler filed an I.C.R. 35 motion which was denied. Wheeler 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, 1014-15 (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, Wheeler's judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
