STATE OF IDAHO v. SHAWN ERIC CARR (2018)

Shawn Eric Carr was found guilty of felony domestic violence with traumatic injury. I.C. § 18-918(2) and 18-903(a)(F). The district court sentenced Carr to a unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of one and one-half years. The district court suspended the sentence and placed Carr on probation. Carr appeals, asserting that the underlying sentence is 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, Carr's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
