COUNSEL Yavapai County Attorney’s Office, Prescott By Glen M. Asay Counsel for Respondent Mark Steven Behlke, Jr., Tucson Petitioner STATE v. BEHLKE Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION Presiding Judge Paul J. McMurdie, Judge Michael J. Brown, and Judge Michael S. Catlett delivered the following decision.

PER CURIAM: ¶1 Petitioner Mark Steven Behlke, Jr. seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32. This is Petitioner’s third 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 the 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. We find the petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We grant review but deny relief.
