                    Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;
                                and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       Warren L. Hamilton pled guilty to four counts of lewd conduct with a minor child under
sixteen, Idaho Code § 18-1508, and four counts of sexual battery of a minor child sixteen or
seventeen years of age, Idaho Code § 18-1508A(1)(a), with other charges being dismissed. The
district court sentenced Hamilton to concurrent unified terms of life, with a minimum period of
confinement of thirty-five years for each count, to be served consecutive to a previous sentence.
Hamilton appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive
sentence.



                                               1
       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, Hamilton’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
