PER CURIAM
Felicia Lynette Hardy was found guilty of forgery, I.C. § 18-3601; grand theft, I.C. § 18-
2403(1), 18-2407(1)(b), and 18-2409; and burglary, I.C. § 18-1401. The district court sentenced
Hardy to concurrent unified terms of five years, with minimum periods of confinement of 230
days. The district court ordered that Hardy’s sentences run consecutively to an unrelated
sentence. Hardy appeals, arguing that her sentences are excessive.

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 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). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record
in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
Therefore, Hardy’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
