STATE v. JOHNSON Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Jennifer B. Campbell, Judge Randall M. Howe, and Judge James B. Morse Jr. delivered the decision of the Court.

P E R C U R I A M:

¶1 Petitioner Jeremy Michael Johnson seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his fifth 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, ¶ 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. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We grant review but deny relief.
