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

PER CURIAM
       Angel Reyes pled guilty to aggravated battery on a correctional officer. Idaho Code §§
18-903(a), 18-915(1)(b). The district court sentenced Reyes to a unified term of thirty years,
with a minimum period of confinement of seven years to run consecutively to the sentence for
which Reyes was incarcerated.       Reyes appeals asserting that the district court abused its
discretion by ordering that the sentence run consecutively under the erroneous belief that it was
required to do so and, alternatively, by imposing an excessive sentence.
       Although the prosecutor and defense counsel agreed on the record that a consecutive
sentence was required, there is no indication in the record that the district court misperceived the



                                                 1
law or adopted the parties’ position. In fact, the district court made reference to the State’s
recommendation and commented on the length of time Reyes would be in prison “if it runs
consecutive.” The record does not establish that the district court failed to recognize that its
sentencing decision was discretionary.
       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 by the sentence imposed.
       Therefore, Reyes’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
