Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Angela K. Paton, Judge Michael S. Catlett, and Judge James
B. Morse Jr. delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Gettus Leroy Mintz seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is
petitioner’s seventh 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, 278 P.3d 1276, 1280 (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, ¶ 1, 260 P.3d 1102, 1103 (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 that petitioner has not established an abuse of
discretion.

¶4 We grant review and deny relief.
