PER CURIAM
       Alexandra Hope Lewis pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance,
methamphetamine, Idaho Code § 37-2732(1)(F). The district court imposed a unified seven-year
sentence, with two years determinate. Lewis appeals, contending that the district court abused its
discretion by imposing an excessive sentence and by ordering execution of her sentence rather
than retaining jurisdiction.
       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


                                                1
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). Whether to
retain jurisdiction is a matter within the sound discretion of the district court. State v. Lee, 117
Idaho 203, 205-06, 786 P.2d 596-97 (Ct. App.1990). Applying these standards, and having
reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion by
imposing an excessive sentence or declining to retain jurisdiction.
       Therefore, Lewis’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
