PER CURIAM
       Grover Earl McAlister Jr. pled guilty to felony eluding a peace officer. I.C. § 49-
1404(2). In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court
sentenced McAlister to a unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of




                                              1
two years. McAlister filed an I.C.R. 35 motion, which the district court denied. McAlister

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

        McAlister also pled guilty to misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident and was
sentenced to a concurrent six-month term. However, he does not challenge this sentence on
appeal.
