PER CURIAM
Terrill Dennis Nappo pled guilty to aggravated driving while under the influence of
alcohol, drugs and/or other intoxicating substance. Idaho Code §§ 18-8006, 18-8004(1)(a). The
district court sentenced Nappo to a unified term of thirteen years, with a minimum period of
confinement of seven years to run concurrently with an expected sentence in an unrelated case
from the state of Utah. Nappo appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by
imposing an excessive sentence.

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, Nappo’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
