    PER CURIAM
    Joseph Lee Fenner was found guilty of grand theft. I.C. §§ 18-2403(1), 18-2407(1)(b)(8),
    and 18-2408. The district court sentenced Fenner to a unified term of ten years, with a minimum
    period of confinement of two years. The district court retained jurisdiction and sent Fenner to
    participate in the rider program.    Fenner appeals, arguing that his underlying sentence is
    excessive.
    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, Fenner’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
