PER CURIAM
Marissa Shannel Dempsey pled guilty to aiding and abetting grand theft. I.C. §§ 18-
2403(1), 18-2407, 18-2409, and 18-204. In exchange for her guilty plea, additional charges were
dismissed. The district court sentenced Dempsey to a unified term of twelve years, with a
minimum period of confinement of two years, to run concurrently with an unrelated sentence.
Dempsey appeals, claiming her 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, Dempsey’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
