 STATE v. KORELC
Decision of the Court

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Randall Marc Korelc petitions for review of the summary
dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. We have considered the
petition for review and, for the reasons stated, grant review but deny relief.

¶2 Following a jury trial, Korelc was convicted of second-degree
murder and sentenced to an 18-year prison term. This court affirmed the
conviction and sentence on appeal. State v. Korelc, 1 CA-CR 11-0184, 2012
WL 2786184 (Ariz. App. July 5, 2012) (mem. decision).

¶3 Korelc commenced a timely proceeding for post-conviction
relief and filed a pro se petition in which he asserted a variety of claims,
including ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial and judicial
misconduct, multiple trial errors and actual innocence. In summarily
dismissing the petition, the superior court issued a ruling that clearly
identified, fully addressed and correctly resolved the claims. Under these
circumstances, we need not repeat that court's analysis here; instead, we
adopt it. See State v. Whipple, 177 Ariz. 272, 274 (App. 1993) (when superior
court rules "in a fashion that will allow any court in the future to understand
the resolution[,]" there is no purpose in "rehashing the trial court's correct
ruling").

¶4 Accordingly, although we grant review, we deny relief.
