OPINION
EASTAUGH, Justice.
I. INTRODUCTION
Rhoda Lewis is a state prisoner in the custody of the Alaska Department of Corrections (DOC). We consider here whether she was denied due process when DOC rejected her request to be examined by a physician of her choosing for the purpose of gathering evidence to support her application for executive clemency. Because Lewis did not make out any showing of a medical condition that might have entitled her to be considered for executive clemency, we conclude that DOC did not deny her due process and therefore affirm the judgment of the superior court.
