State v. Gardner

HUNTER, Robert C., Judge.

Edward Joseph Gardner, IV (“defendant”) appeals from orders denying his motions to locate and preserve evidence and for postconviction DNA testing. On appeal, defendant argues that the trial court erred by: (1) failing to appoint counsel to represent defendant on his motion for postconviction DNA testing; and (2) making insufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law in denying defendant’s motion for postconviction DNA testing. After careful review, we find no error.
