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

and HUSKEY, Judge

________________________________________________

PER CURIAM

Christopher Lynn Wirfs pleaded guilty to felony aggravated battery, Idaho Code §§ 18- 903(a), 907(a), 907(b), as enhanced by felony use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime, I.C. § 19-2520, and felony stalking in the first degree, I.C. § 18-3316. The district court imposed a unified twenty-five year sentence, with five years determinate, and a consecutive determinate five-year sentence respectively. Wirfs appeals, contending 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, Wirfs’ judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
