After carefully reviewing the record and Harper’s brief, this court finds no error
warranting reversal. See Dist. Attorney’s Office for Third Judicial Dist. v. Osborne,
557 U.S. 52, 69, 72-75 (2009) (discussing contours of substantive and procedural due
process rights related to postconviction access to DNA testing).
The dismissal is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
