DOUGLASS Decision of the Court MEMORANDUM DECISION Presiding Judge Maria Elena Cruz, Judge James B. Morse Jr., and Judge Daniel J. Kiley delivered the decision of the Court. PER CURIAM: ¶1 Petitioner Jeremy Alan Douglass seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is petitioner’s fourth successive 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. AMY M. WOOD • Clerk of the Court FILED: AA 2
