The district court imposed a unified sentence of four years, with a minimum period of confinement of one year. In Docket No. 43782, Timpson pled guilty to robbery, I.C. §§ 18-6501, 18-204, and possession of hydromorphone, I.C.
§ 37-2732(c). The district court imposed concurrent unified sentences of twenty-five years, with a minimum period of confinement of six years, and seven years, with a minimum period of
confinement of two years, respectively. Timpson 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- (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, Timpson’s judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
