State v. Jason Anthony Edwards
Check Treatment

*1 Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

and MELANSON, Judge

________________________________________________

PER CURIAM

Jason Anthony Edwards pled guilty to attempted first degree kidnapping (Count I), Idaho Code §§ 18-306, 18-4501(1), 18-4502; battery with intent to commit a serious felony (Count II), I.C. §§ 18-903, 18-911; and aggravated assault with an enhancement for use of a deadly weapon (Count III), I.C. §§ 18-901, 18-905. The district court imposed consecutive unified sentences of fifteen years indeterminate on Count I; twenty years determinate on Count II; and twenty years,

with ten years determinate, on Count III. Edwards 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, Edwards’ judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
