                      MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge James P. Beene delivered the decision of the Court, in
which Judge Michael J. Brown and Judge James B. Morse Jr. joined.


B E E N E, Judge:

¶1           Petitioner Terrell Artist Donald petitions this Court for review
from the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. We have
considered the petition for review and, for the reasons stated, grant review
and deny relief.

                FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

¶2            Donald pled guilty to one count of sexual assault and two
counts of attempted sexual assault. As stipulated in the plea agreement, the
superior court sentenced Donald to the slightly aggravated term of 8 years’
imprisonment, to be followed by lifetime probation with sex offender
terms.

¶3             Donald filed a timely of-right petition for post-conviction
relief after his counsel found no colorable claims for relief. The superior
court summarily dismissed the petition, and Donald now seeks review. We
have jurisdiction pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.9(c)
and Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-4239(C).

                              DISCUSSION

¶4            In his petition for review, Donald argues (1) he received
ineffective assistance of counsel; (2) he did not voluntarily enter the plea
agreement; (3) his case should have been severed from that of his co-
defendant; and (4) other claims incorporated only by reference.

¶5            We deny relief. By entering a plea agreement, Donald waived
“all non-jurisdictional defenses, errors, and defects” which occurred prior
to the plea. State v. Moreno, 134 Ariz. 199, 200 (App. 1982). The waiver of
non-jurisdictional defects includes alleged constitutional rights violations,
Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, 267 (1973), and claims of ineffective
assistance of counsel not directly related to the entry of the plea, State v.
Quick, 177 Ariz. 314, 316 (App. 1993). Thus, Donald waived any claims
associated with the severance of his case from that of his co-defendant.


                                     2
                            STATE v. DONALD
                            Decision of the Court

¶6             To the extent the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is
directly related to the plea agreement, Donald failed to show that counsel’s
performance fell below objectively reasonable standards or that counsel’s
deficient performance caused him prejudice. See Strickland v. Washington,
466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984); State v. Nash, 143 Ariz. 392, 397 (1985). Donald
provides little detail regarding his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel,
merely alleging that counsel provided deficient advice and forced him to
enter the plea agreement. First, the record shows that Donald voluntarily
entered a favorable, legally sound plea agreement. Second, a claim of
ineffective assistance of counsel must be supported by more than
generalizations and unsubstantiated allegations. State v. Borbon, 146 Ariz.
392, 399 (1985). Donald’s assertions are not supported by the record, he
failed to present a colorable claim for relief, and an evidentiary hearing was
not warranted. See State v. D’Ambrosio, 156 Ariz. 71, 73 (1988).

¶7              Donald’s contention that he entered the plea agreement
“under duress” similarly fails. To be valid, a plea agreement must not be
the “result of force, threats or promises.” Ariz. R. Crim. P. 17.3(a)(1)-(2),
17.4(c); State v. Murdaugh, 209 Ariz. 19, 27, ¶ 33 (2004). Donald provides no
supporting facts for this claim, nor does the record show that any parties
forced or coerced Donald to enter the plea agreement. The record does
show, however, that at the change of plea hearing, Donald specifically
agreed that he was not impaired in any way, he understood the terms of
the plea agreement, and he was not forced or threatened into entering the
plea agreement. Donald has not demonstrated that his guilty plea was the
result of duress.

¶8             Lastly, Donald presented additional claims in the superior
court not specifically raised in the petition for review. A petition for review
may not present issues or arguments through mere incorporation by
reference. See Ariz. R. Crim. P. 32.9(c)(4)(B). Accordingly, we decline to
address any claims not directly presented in the petition for review. See
State v. Rodriguez, 227 Ariz. 58, 61, ¶ 12, n.4 (App. 2010).

                     CONCLUSION

¶9   For the reasons above, we grant review but deny relief.
