PER CURIAM
Ramon Uriel Chinea-Muller pled guilty to two counts of felony eluding a peace officer. I.C. § 49-1404(2)(c). In exchange for his guilty pleas, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court sentenced Chinea-Muller to consecutive unified terms of five years, with minimum periods of confinement of one year. Chinea-Muller appeals.
One of Chinea-Muller's pleas was entered as an Alford plea. See North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970). --------
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, Chinea-Muller's judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
