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

PER CURIAM
       Jason Michael Spelts pled guilty to sexual abuse of a child under the age of sixteen years,
Idaho Code § 18-1506(1)(a), and lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen, Idaho Code §
18-1508. The district court sentenced Spelts to concurrent, unified terms of fifteen years, with
minimum periods of confinement of four years. Spelts appeals, contending the district court
abused its discretion by refusing to order a period of retained 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
need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-

                                                  1
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, Spelts’ judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
