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

PER CURIAM
       Katherine Colleen Vann was convicted of felony possession of cocaine, Idaho Code § 37-
2732(c)(1); misdemeanor battery on a correctional officer, I.C. §§ 18-903, 18-915(1);
misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol, I.C. § 18-8004; misdemeanor assault, I.C.
§§ 18-901, 18-902; and misdemeanor battery, I.C. § 18-903. The district court imposed a unified
sentence of six years, with a minimum period of confinement of one year, for possession of
cocaine, and 120 days on each misdemeanor, with all sentences to run concurrently. After a
period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentences and placed Vann on
probation. Vann appeals, contending that the underlying sentence for felony possession of
cocaine is excessive and that the district court abused its discretion in failing to sua sponte

                                              1
reduce the sentence pursuant to Idaho Criminal Rule 35 following completion of her rider. We
affirm.
          Where a sentence is within the statutory limits, it will not be disturbed on appeal absent
an abuse of the sentencing court’s discretion. State v. Hedger, 115 Idaho 598, 768 P.2d 1331
(1989). We will not conclude on review that the sentencing court abused its discretion unless the
sentence is unreasonable under the facts of the case. State v. Brown, 121 Idaho 385, 825 P.2d
482 (1992). In evaluating the reasonableness of a sentence, we consider the nature of the offense
and the character of the offender, applying our well-established standards of review. 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, 650
P.2d 707 (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).
          Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in imposing Vann’s sentence for possession of cocaine without modification. The
judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
