PER CURIAM

Russell Dean Taylor was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37- 2732(c)(1). The district court sentenced Taylor to a unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of three years. However, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Taylor on probation. Taylor appeals, arguing his underlying 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, Taylor’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
