MEMORANDUM DECISION
Presiding Judge Michael S. Catlett, Judge Daniel J. Kiley, and Judge David D. Weinzweig delivered the decision of the Court.
PER CURIAM:
¶1 Petitioner Carlos Medina seeks review of the superior court‘s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is petitioner‘s latest 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, 278 P.3d 1276, 1280 (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, ¶ 1, 260 P.3d 1102, 1103 (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, the state‘s response and the petitioner‘s reply. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.
¶4 We grant review and deny relief.
