Johnsen, Judge Kent E. Cattani and Judge Jennifer M. Perkins delivered the decision of the Court. STATE v. AKRAM Decision of the Court PER CURIAM: ¶1 Petitioner Omar Shakur Akram seeks review of the superior court's order denying his second and third petitions for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1. ¶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 petitions for post-conviction relief, and the petition for review. We find that petitioner has not established an abuse of discretion. ¶4 For the foregoing reasons, we grant review and deny relief. AMY M. WOOD • Clerk of the Court FILED: AA 2
