                                                 Trial Judge: Katherine A. Hayes

             In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:


       ¶  1.  Defendant Donald Wigg appeals a district court order mandating
  that he comply with 20 V.S.A. § 1933 (2000), which requires that all
  persons convicted of enumerated violent crimes submit a DNA sample to the
  State for testing and inclusion in the state and federal DNA databases.
  (FN1)   On appeal, defendant does not claim any error in the proceedings
  that led to the sampling order, but instead challenges the proceedings that
  led to his conviction for the underlying crime.  He also claims several
  errors in our decision affirming that conviction and denying his motion for
  reargument.  Finally, defendant challenges the DNA statute under the state
  and federal constitutions.  We affirm. 
        
       ¶  2.  In 2003, a jury convicted defendant of felony lewd or
  lascivious conduct with a child, 13 V.S.A. § 2602, one of the crimes
  enumerated in the DNA statute, 20 V.S.A. § 1932(M) (2000).  Defendant
  appealed his conviction to this Court, and we affirmed in July 2005.  State
