Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Anni Hill Foster, Judge Michael J. Brown, and Judge Paul
J. McMurdie delivered the following decision.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Daniel Rae Wilson seeks review of the superior court’s order
denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is Wilson’s 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, 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.
