Heading: Fourth Amendment and Ex Post Facto Clause

Text: [2] Lujan argues that the DNA Act constitutes a suspicionless search in violation of the Fourth Amendment and imposes a new condition on her supervised release in violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause. Our decision in Kincade disposes of the Fourth Amendment challenge. See 379 F.3d at 832 (upholding compulsory DNA collection on a “totality of the circumstances” analysis); id. at 840 (Gould, J., concurring in the judgment) (upholding DNA collection based on “special needs” doctrine). Our decision in Reynard, 473 F.3d at 1021, rejected an identical ex post facto challenge to the DNA Act after holding that the statute did not have a punitive effect. 473 F.3d at 1021.
