The application was dismissed because the court has no jurisdiction to compel bodily samples for DNA testing and, independently, the proposed DNA testing lacked sufficient probative value given uncertainties in the pedigree and absence of necessary comparative samples; additionally, the court rejected the premise that absence of biological relationship alone would preclude existence of a family consensus, making the DNA evidence unlikely to determinatively resolve the dispute.
