THIS IS AN UNPUBLISHED OPINION AND SHALL NOT BE CITED AS AUTHORITY
PER CURIAM.
Steven A. Jasper pled guilty to aggravated assault. I.C. §§ 18-901(b), 18-905(a)(b). The district court sentenced Jasper to a unified term of three years, with a minimum period of confinement of one and one-half years. However, the district court retained jurisdiction. Jasper appealed. Jasper filed an I.C.R. 35 motion for reduction of his sentence, which the district court denied. While this appeal was pending, the district court relinquished jurisdiction. Jasper filed a second Rule 35 motion, which the district court also denied. On appeal, Jasper asserts that his 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 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, Jasper's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
