    STATE v. TRACY
    Decision of the Court
    PER CURIAM:
    ¶1            Petitioner Todd Sterling Tracy 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 petitioner’s first
    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 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 that petitioner has not established an abuse
    of discretion.
    ¶4            We grant review and deny relief.
