MEMORANDUM DECISION

Anni Hill Foster delivered the decision of the Court.
 STATE v. BARNETT
Decision of the Court

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Derrick Shawn Barnett seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant
to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1. This is his first petition.

¶2 Absent an abuse of discretion or error of law, this court will
not disturb a superior court’s ruling on a petition for post-conviction relief.
State v. Gutierrez, 229 Ariz. 573, 577, ¶ 19 (2012). It is petitioner’s burden to
show that the superior court abused its discretion by denying the petition
for post-conviction relief. See State v. Poblete, 227 Ariz. 537, 538, ¶ 1 (App.
2011) (petitioner has burden of establishing abuse of discretion on review).

¶3 We have reviewed the record in this matter, the superior
court’s order denying the petition for post-conviction, petition for review,
response, and reply. Petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 For the foregoing reasons, we grant review but deny relief.
