PER CURIAM
Adam Levi Fackrell entered an Alford plea1 to two counts of injury to a child, Idaho Code
§ 18-1501(1), and two counts of burglary, I.C. § 18-1401. In exchange for his guilty plea,
additional charges were dismissed. The district court imposed consecutive terms of ten years with
eight years determinate for one count of injury to a child, five years indeterminate for the second
count of injury to a child, and five years indeterminate for each count of burglary for an aggregate

See North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970).

sentence of twenty-five years with eight years determinate. Fackrell appeals, contending that his
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). Our role is limited to determining whether reasonable minds could
reach the same conclusion as the district court. State v. Biggs, 168 Idaho 112, 116, 480 P.3d 150,
154 (Ct. App. 2020).
Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that
the district court abused its discretion. Therefore, Fackrell’s judgment of conviction and sentence
are affirmed.
