Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General; Lori A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before HUSKEY, Judge; LORELLO, Judge; and BRAILSFORD, Judge ________________________________________________ PER CURIAM Alvin Ray Ramirez entered an Alford 1 plea to felony eluding a peace officer. I.C. § 49- 1404(2). In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge that he is a persistent violator was dismissed and the State agreed not to pursue probation violation allegations in an unrelated case.

The district court sentenced Ramirez to a determinate term of five years. Ramirez filed an I.C.R. motion, which the district court granted. The district court reduced Ramirez’s sentence to a

unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of four years. Ramirez appeals, arguing that his modified 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- (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, Ramirez’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
