PER CURIAM
Hans Michael Holsopple pled guilty to first degree kidnapping, Idaho Code §§ 18-4501,
18-4502, 18-204, 19-304, and rape, Idaho Code §§ 18-6101, 19-304. The district court
sentenced Holsopple to concurrent life terms, with twenty years determinate, for each count.
Holsopple appeals.
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

1
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, Holsopple’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed
