PER CURIAM
Mehmed Halilovic pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under
sixteen, felony, Idaho Code § 18-1508. The district court imposed a unified twenty-year
sentence, with three years determinate. Halilovic filed an I.C.R. 35 motion, which the district
court denied. Halilovic appeals.1
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.
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

1
Halilovic does not appeal from the denial of his I.C.R. 35 motion.
1
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, Halilovic’s judgment of conviction and sentence is affirmed.
