                             STATE v. ROQUE
                            Decision of the Court

J O N E S, Judge:

¶1             Petitioner Frank Silva Roque petitions this court for review
from the summary dismissal of his notice of post-conviction relief filed
August 15, 2014. Roque argues the Arizona Supreme Court erred when it
addressed a disclosure issue in his case on direct appeal in 2006. See State
v. Roque, 213 Ariz. 193, 209-11, ¶¶ 41, 48-50, 52 (2006). Roque asks this court
to correct the supreme court’s opinion and order a new trial.

¶2            We deny relief because Roque has failed to present a
cognizable claim pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1 or
otherwise present a colorable claim for relief. This Court has no authority
to overrule, modify, or disregard a decision of the Arizona Supreme Court.
Myers v. Reeb, 190 Ariz. 341, 342 (App. 1997) (“Whether prior decisions of
the Arizona Supreme Court are to be disaffirmed is a question for that
court.”) (quoting City of Phx. v. Leroy’s Liquors, Inc., 177 Ariz. 375, 378 (App.
1993)).

¶3            We grant review but deny relief.
