PER CURIAM: ¶1 Petitioner Steven Giles seeks review of the superior court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief. This is his seventh 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.

¶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. Petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We grant review and deny relief.
