Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Maria Elena Cruz, Judge Samuel A. Thumma and Judge
Andrew M. Jacobs delivered the following decision.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Pedro Cisneros Arias seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is Arias’
second 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.
See 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 relief, and the petition
for review. We find the petitioner has not established an abuse of
discretion.

¶4 We grant review but deny relief.
