APPEARANCES Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Phoenix By Amanda M. Parker Counsel for Respondent Leon Jose Ramos, Florence Petitioner STATE v. RAMOS Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION Presiding Judge D. Steven Williams, Judge Jennifer B. Campbell and Judge James B. Morse Jr. delivered the following decision.

PER CURIAM: ¶1 Petitioner Leon Jose Ramos seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1. This is petitioner’s fifth 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, 538 ¶ 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. The petitioner has failed to show an abuse of discretion.

¶4 For the foregoing reasons, this court grants review but denies relief.
