Hon. Nancy A. Baskin, District Judge.

Judgment of conviction and unified sentence of six years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years, for possession of a controlled substance, affirmed.

Eric D. Fredericksen, State Appellate Public Defender; Sally J. Cooley, Deputy Appellate Public Defender, Boise, for appellant.

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 Jacob Michael Quarve pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37- 2732(c). In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court sentenced Quarve to a unified term of six years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years. The district court ordered that Quarve’s sentence run concurrently with another unrelated sentence. Quarve appeals, arguing that his 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, Quarve’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
