MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Cynthia J. Bailey, Vice Chief Judge Randall M. Howe, and Judge Andrew M. Jacobs delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Danny Joseph Jones (“Petitioner”) seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief.

¶2 Absent an abuse of discretion, 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, 538, ¶ 1 (App. 2011).

¶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. Petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 Accordingly, we grant review but deny relief.
