STATE v. ORDUNO
Decision of the Court
MEMORANDUM DECISION
Presiding Judge Patricia K. Norris delivered the decision of the Court, in
which Judge Samuel A. Thumma and Judge Margaret H. Downie joined.
N O R R I S, Judge:
¶1 Adan Orduno, Jr., petitions this court for review of the
superior court’s summary dismissal of his untimely notice of post-
conviction relief. We have considered the petition for review and, for the
reasons stated, grant review but deny relief.
¶2 After pleading guilty to attempted burglary in the third
degree, aggravated assault, trafficking in stolen property, and theft of
means of transportation in four separate cases, the superior court sentenced
Orduno to three concurrent prison terms, the longest of which was 7.5-
years, followed by a three-year term of probation. The superior court
revoked Orduno’s probation on June 20, 2014, and sentenced him to a 4.5-
year term of imprisonment.
¶3 In July 2014, Orduno filed a notice of post-conviction relief
challenging his convictions in all four cases. Finding the notice untimely
and that Orduno had failed to make a sufficient showing of any claims that
could be raised in an untimely proceeding, the superior court summarily
dismissed the proceeding.
¶4 In dismissing the proceeding, the superior court issued a
ruling that clearly identified, fully addressed, and correctly resolved
Orduno’s claims. Under these circumstances, we need not repeat that
analysis here—instead, we adopt it. See State v. Whipple, 177 Ariz. 272, 274,
866 P.2d 1358, 1360 (App. 1993) (when superior court rules “in a fashion
that will allow any court in the future to understand the resolution[,] [n]o
useful purpose would be served by this court rehashing the trial court's
correct ruling in [the] written decision”).
