PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Hitchcock v. State, 866 So. 2d 23, 27–28 (Fla. 2004) (“Rule 3.853 is not intended to be a fishing expedition. . . . It was Hitchcock’s burden to explain, with reference to specific facts about the crime and the items he wished to have tested, ‘how the DNA testing requested by the motion will exonerate the movant of the crime for which the movant was sentenced, or . . . will mitigate the sentence received by the movant for that crime.’ He has not met that burden.” (quoting in part Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.853(b)(3))).
