HOLOHAN, Chief Justice.

This petition for review contests the superior court’s discretion to allow ‍‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‍the state to withdraw from a plea agreement. The respondent judge granted the state’s motion to withdraw from the plea agreement, and the court ‍‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‍of appeals upheld the respondent judge. Dominguez v. Meehan, 140 Ariz. 329, 681 P.2d 912 (1983).

After our review of the record, we have concluded that the opinion of ‍‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‍the court of appeals is correct and that it properly decided all issues. Rather than simply deny review in this case we believe that ‍‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‍we should expressly approve the legal reasoning contained in the opinion by the court of appeals. We hereby adopt and approve the opinion of ‍‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‍the court of appeals.
