MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge David B. Gass, Judge Anni Hill Foster, and Chief Judge Randall M. Howe delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Douglas Max Boldt petitions this Court for review from the superior court’s summary dismissal of his successive petition for post- conviction relief. We have considered his petition and grant review but deny relief.

¶2 We review the superior court’s ruling on a petition for post- conviction relief for an abuse of discretion, “which occurs if the court makes an error of law or fails to adequately investigate the facts necessary to support its decision.” State v. Bigger, 251 Ariz. 402, 407 ¶ 6 (2021). The petitioner bears the 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). We will affirm the trial court’s ruling if legally correct for any reason. See State v. Perez, 141 Ariz. 459, 464 (1984).

¶3 We have reviewed the record in this matter, the superior court’s order dismissing the petition for post-conviction relief, and the petition for review. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We grant review and deny relief.
