Docket No. 44907 (Idaho Ct. App. Jan. 5, 2018)

Summary

In Jordan v. Pickett, 78 Ala. 331, 338, it was held that a concealment may be tantamount to a misrepresentation and equally effective to mislead, but to be so it must operate as an inducement to the contract or change of position, and to be fraudulent must have been with an intention to mislead.

PER CURIAM

Jordan Wayne Pickett pled guilty to trafficking in heroin, Idaho Code § 37-2732B(a)(6). The district court imposed a unified sentence of fourteen years, with a minimum period of confinement of ten years. Pickett appeals, contending that the indeterminate portion of 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). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.

Therefore, Pickett's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
