                    Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                  ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Jack J. Cooney, Jr. was found guilty of felony driving under the influence of alcohol,
drugs and/or any other intoxicating substance, Idaho Code §§ 18-8004(1)(a) and 18-8004(9).
The district court imposed a unified ten-year sentence, with three years determinate. Cooney
filed a timely Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied. 1 Cooney timely
appeals, contending that the district court abused its discretion when it declined to place him on
probation.



1
       Cooney does not appeal the district court’s denial of his Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion.
                                                1
       Sentencing is a matter for the trial court’s discretion. That discretion includes the trial
court’s decision regarding whether a defendant should be placed on probation. I.C. § 19-
2601(3); State v. Reber, 138 Idaho 275, 278, 61 P.3d 632, 635 (Ct. App. 2002). 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). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we
cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
       Therefore, Cooney’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
