Decision of the Court
MEMORANDUM DECISION
Presiding Judge Jennifer B. Campbell, and Judges Kent E. Cattani and Anni
Hill Foster delivered the decision of the Court.
PER CURIAM:
¶1 Petitioner Troy Thomas York seeks review of the superior
court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. 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, the petition for
review, State’s response, and Petitioner’s reply. We find that petitioner has
not established an abuse of discretion.
¶4 We grant review but deny relief.
