MEMORANDUM DECISION
Presiding Judge Kenton D. Jones, Judge Jon W. Thompson, and Judge Samuel A. Thumma delivered the decision of the Court.
PER CURIAM :
¶1 Petitioner Tramane Mitchell 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 following his conviction by a jury and unsuccessful direct appeal.
¶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.
