Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Brian Y. Furuya, Chief Judge David B. Gass, and Vice Chief
Judge Randall M. Howe delivered the decision of the court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Krista Marie Cline seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying her petition for post-conviction relief. This is
petitioner’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 (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, the petition for
review, and the State’s notice of acknowledgment of petition for review. We
find that petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We grant review but deny relief.
