                             STATE v. AKRAM
                            Decision of the Court

PER CURIAM:

¶1              Petitioner Omar Shakur Akram seeks review of the superior
court's order denying his second and third petitions for post-conviction
relief, filed pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1.

¶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, ¶ 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 petitions for post-conviction relief, and the
petition for review. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of
discretion.

¶4            For the foregoing reasons, we grant review and deny relief.
