Petitioner
                           STATE v. GUERRERO
                            Decision of the Court

                       MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge D. Steven Williams, Judge Samuel A. Thumma, and Judge
Paul J. McMurdie delivered the Court’s decision.

PER CURIUM:

¶1            Petitioner Jaime Bravo Guerrero seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant
to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1.1 This is petitioner’s latest
successive 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. The petitioner has failed to show an abuse of discretion.

¶4            For the foregoing reasons, this court grants review but denies
relief.
