PER CURIAM
Ashley Evelyn Morse pled guilty to burglary. I.C. § 18-1401. In exchange for her guilty
plea, additional charges were dismissed. 1 The district court sentenced Morse to a unified term of
four years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years. Morse also filed an I.C.R. 35
motion for reduction of her sentence, which the district court denied. Morse 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-

1
Morse also pled guilty to misdemeanor battery. However, she does not challenge this
judgment of conviction or sentence on appeal.

1
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, Morse’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
