and LORELLO, Judge

________________________________________________

PER CURIAM

Joshua Leo Vesely was found guilty of one count of possession of morphine with intent to deliver, Idaho Code § 37-2732(a); one count of possession of hydrocodone with intent to deliver, Idaho Code § 37-2732(a); one count of possession of amphetamine with intent to deliver, Idaho Code § 37-2732(a); and one count of misdemeanor possession of “bath salts,” Idaho Code §§ 37-2732(c), 37-2705(f)(3). The district court imposed concurrent unified sentences of ten years, with two and one-half years determinate, for each count of possession with intent to deliver. For the misdemeanor, the district court sentenced Vesely to 120 days in jail, with

120 days of credit for time served. Vesely appeals, contending that his sentences for possession with intent to deliver 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, Vesely’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
