                              STATE v. KOCH
                            Decision of the Court

                       MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Samuel A. Thumma, Judge Randall M. Howe, and Judge
Anni Hill Foster delivered the following decision.

PER CURIAM:

¶1           Petitioner Anthony Michael Koch 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. This is Koch’s first
petition.

¶2             Absent an abuse of discretion or legal error, this court will not
disturb a superior court’s ruling on a petition for post-conviction relief. See
State v. Gutierrez, 229 Ariz. 573, 577 ¶ 19 (2012). Petitioner has the burden to
show that the superior court erred in denying the petition for post-
conviction relief. See State v. Poblete, 227 Ariz. 537, 538 ¶ 1 (App. 2011).

¶3            This court has reviewed the record in this matter, the order
denying the petition for post-conviction relief and the petition for review.
This court finds the petitioner has not established error.

¶4            This court grants review but denies relief.
