PER CURIAM

Travis Earl Holland pled guilty to domestic violence. Idaho Code §§ 18-918(2), 18-903(a). Holland asked for a suspended sentence and probation. Additionally, Holland asked for a withheld judgment. The district court sentenced Holland to a unified term of eight years with one year determinate. Holland appeals asserting that the district court's sentencing decisions are unreasonable and represent an abuse of discretion.

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, Holland's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
