PER CURIAM
Timothy Paul Harrison was found guilty of trafficking in marijuana, Idaho Code § 37-
2732B(a)(1); misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia, I.C. § 37-2734A(1); and misdemeanor
driving without privileges, I.C. § 49-301(1). On the misdemeanor counts, the district court
imposed 302 days in jail with credit for time served of 302 days. For trafficking in marijuana,
the district court imposed a unified sentence of eight years, with a minimum period of
1
confinement of three years. Harrison appeals, contending that his trafficking 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, Harrison’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
