Joseph Matthews a/k/a Samuel Matthews appeals the sentence imposed following his conviction for burglary in the second degree. He contends RCW 43.43.754 and the portion of his sentence requiring him to provide a biological sample for DNA identification violate both his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches, and his privacy rights under article I, section 7 of the Washington Constitution. These arguments are controlled by our decision in State v. Surge, No. 51954-9, 2004 WL 1551561 (Wash.Ct.App. July 12, 2004) (holding that Fourth Amendment argument is controlled by State v. Olivas, 122 Wn.2d 73, 856 P.2d 1076 (1993), and rejecting argument based on the Washington Constitution and State v. Lucas, 56 Wn. App. 236, 783 P.2d 121 (1989)).

Affirmed.

GROSSE, J., COX, C.J. and ELLINGTON, A.C.J.
