Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Michael J. Brown, Judge Veronika Fabian, and Vice Chief
Judge David D. Weinzweig delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

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

¶2 Absent an abuse of discretion or error of law, we 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 Triste’s burden to show
the superior court abused its discretion by denying his petition for post-
conviction relief. See State v. Poblete, 227 Ariz. 537, ¶ 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. Triste has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We therefore grant review and deny relief.
