    STATE v. FUQUA
    Decision of the Court
    PER CURIAM:
    ¶1            Petitioner Michael Ray Fuqua 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 Fuqua’s second
    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 (2012). It is the 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) (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 the petitioner has not established an abuse of
    discretion.
    ¶4            We grant review but deny relief.
