Summary

The Arizona Court of Appeals issued a non-precedential decision in State v. Davis, concerning a petition for post-conviction relief. The court reviewed the superior court's order dismissing the petition and found no abuse of discretion.

What changed

The Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One, issued a memorandum decision in State v. Davis (Docket No. 1 CA-CR 25-0295 PRPC) on March 2, 2026. The court reviewed the superior court's dismissal of Jason Ramone Davis's successive petition for post-conviction relief. The decision is designated as non-precedential under Arizona Rule of the Supreme Court 111(c).

This decision grants review but denies relief, affirming the lower court's order. For legal professionals and criminal defendants involved in post-conviction relief proceedings in Arizona, this case illustrates the standard of review (abuse of discretion) and the petitioner's burden to demonstrate such an abuse. As a non-precedential decision, it cannot be cited as binding authority but may serve as persuasive guidance.

STATE v. DAVIS
Decision of the Court

MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Michael J. Brown, Judge Veronika Fabian, and Vice Chief
Judge David D. Weinzweig delivered the decision of the Court.

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Petitioner Jason Ramone Davis seeks review of the superior
court’s order dismissing his petition for post-conviction relief. This is
Davis’s latest successive petition.

¶2 Absent an abuse of discretion or error of law, we will not
disturb a superior court’s ruling on a petition for post-conviction relief.
State v. Gutierrez, 229 Ariz. 573, 577, ¶ 19, 278 P.3d 1276, 1280 (2012). It is
Davis’s burden to show the superior court abused its discretion by denying
his petition for post-conviction relief. See State v. Poblete, 227 Ariz. 537, ¶ 1,
P.3d 1102, 1103 (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. Davis has not established an abuse of discretion.

¶4 We therefore grant review and deny relief.
