No. 1 CA-CR 14-0729 PRPC FILED 11-15-2016 Petition for Review from the Superior Court in Maricopa County No. CR 2001-095385 The Honorable Mark F. Aceto, Retired Judge REVIEW GRANTED; RELIEF DENIED COUNSEL Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Phoenix By Diane Meloche Counsel for Respondent Frank Silva Roque, Buckeye Petitioner MEMORANDUM DECISION Presiding Judge Kenton D. Jones delivered the decision of the Court, in which Judge Randall M. Howe and Judge Donn Kessler joined. STATE v. ROQUE Decision of the Court J O N E S, Judge: ¶1 Petitioner Frank Silva Roque petitions this court for review from the summary dismissal of the latest of his many successive notices of post-conviction relief. We deny relief because the claims Roque presents for review are claims he raised in his previous post-conviction relief proceeding.1 Roque also concedes his appellate counsel raised the underlying claims regarding the State’s failure to disclose and prosecutorial misconduct on direct appeal in 2006. Any claim a defendant raised or could have raised on direct appeal or in an earlier post-conviction relief proceeding is precluded. See Ariz. R. Crim. P. 32.2(a). None of the exceptions under Rule 32.2(b) apply. ¶2 We grant review but deny relief. AMY M. WOOD • Clerk of the Court FILED: AA While this is not one of the grounds upon which the trial court dismissed the petition, we may affirm a result on any basis supported by the record. State v. Robinson, 153 Ariz. 191, 199 (1987) (citation omitted). 1 2
