    PER CURIAM
    Tyler John Kelley pled guilty to one count of sexual battery of a minor and one count of
    lewd conduct with a minor.      
    Idaho Code §§ 18
    -1508A(1)(a), 18-1508.          The district court
    sentenced Kelley to concurrent unified sentences of thirty years with four years determinate on
    both counts. Kelley appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing
    excessive sentences.
    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, Kelley’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
