PER CURIAM
Muditullah Temori pled guilty to malicious injury to property, Idaho Code § 18-7001(2).
In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court sentenced
Temori to a unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of one year;
however, the district court suspended the sentence, placed Temori on probation, and imposed thirty
1
days jail. Temori filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied.1 Temori
appeals, arguing 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, Temori’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
1
On appeal, Temori does not challenge the district court’s denial of his I.C.R. 35 motion for
reduction of sentence.
