                            Decision of the Court

                       MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Jennifer B. Campbell, Judge Samuel A. Thumma, and Chief
Judge Kent E. Cattani delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1          Petitioner Eric Snyder seeks review of the superior court’s
order denying his first petition for post-conviction relief.

¶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, and the petition
for review and response. We find that petitioner has not established an
abuse of discretion.

¶4            We grant review but deny relief.
