    STATE v. PULEO
    Decision of the Court
    P E R C U R I A M:
    ¶1          Petitioner Steven Puleo 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 the 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
    , 576-77, ¶ 19 (2012). It is the petitioner’s
    burden to show that the superior court abused its discretion in denying the
    petition. 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. We find that petitioner has not shown any abuse of discretion.
    ¶4            Accordingly, we grant review and deny relief.
