    Decision of the Court
    MEMORANDUM DECISION
    Presiding Judge Maria Elena Cruz, Judge Samuel A. Thumma, and Judge
    Michael J. Brown delivered the decision of the Court.
    PER CURIAM:
    ¶1             Petitioner Dwayne Alvin Pitre seeks review of the superior
    court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is
    petitioner’s second 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 (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 petition for post-conviction relief, and the petition
    for review. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of
    discretion.
    ¶4            We grant review and deny relief.
