PER CURIAM
       Charles Mark Simpson pled guilty to lewd conduct with a minor under sixteen. I.C. § 18-
1508. In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court
sentenced Simpson to a unified term of sixteen years, with a minimum period of confinement of
eight years. Simpson filed an I.C.R. 35 motion, which the district court denied. Simpson
appeals, arguing that his sentence is excessive.




                                                   1
       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.
       Therefore, Simpson’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
