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

PER CURIAM
       Juan Manuel Arellano pled guilty to murder in the first degree with an enhanced penalty
for use of a firearm or deadly weapon. Idaho Code §§ 18-4001, 18-4002, 18-4003, and 19-2520.
The district court sentenced Arellano to a unified term of life, with a minimum period of
confinement of twenty-two years.       Arellano filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for
reduction of his sentence, which the district court denied. Arellano now appeals, contending 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



                                                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). 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, Arellano’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
