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

and LORELLO, Judge

________________________________________________

PER CURIAM

Florencio Martinez Aguinaga pleaded guilty to felony driving under the influence, Idaho Code § 18-8004. The district court imposed a unified sentence of eight years, with two years determinate. Aguinaga appeals, contending that his sentence is excessive. Specifically, Aguinaga contends that the district court should have sentenced him to a lesser sentence, retained jurisdiction, or suspended his sentence and ordered him to participate in a problem solving court.

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, Aguinaga’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
