OPINION

KELLY, Judge.

¶ 1 Ramon Escareno-Meraz petitions this court for review of the trial court's summary dismissal of his successive notice of post-conviction relief filed pursuant to Rule 32, Ariz. R.Crim. P. We will not disturb that ruling unless the court clearly has abused its discretion. See State v. Swoopes, 216 Ariz. 390, ¶ 4, 166 P.3d 945, 948 (App.2007). We grant review but deny relief.

¶ 2 Escareno-Meraz was convicted after a jury trial of one count of illegally controlling and/or conducting a criminal enterprise; three counts of unlawful use of a wire communication to facilitate a narcotics transaction; one count of unlawful offer to transfer marijuana weighing more than two pounds; one count of conspiracy to possess for sale, transfer, or transport for sale, and/or sell marijuana weighing more than four pounds; and one count of unlawful transportation of marijuana for sale weighing more than two pounds. He was sentenced to aggravated prison terms, including three consecutive 18.5-year terms. We affirmed his convictions and sentences on appeal. State v. Escareno-Meraz, No. 2 CA-CR 99-0186 (memorandum decision filed Mar. 29, 2001). Escareno-Meraz then sought post-conviction relief, which the trial court denied, and this court denied relief on review. State v. Escareno-Meraz, No. 2 CA-CR 2002-0450-PR (decision order filed Jul. 30, 2004).

¶ 3 In February 2013, Escareno-Meraz filed a notice of post-conviction relief asserting that Martinez v. Ryan, ___ U.S. ___, 132 S.Ct. 1309, 182 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012), constituted a significant change in the law entitling him to raise a claim of ineffective assistance of Rule 32 counsel. See Ariz. R.Crim. P. 32.1(g); 32.2(b). The trial court summarily dismissed the notice, concluding Martinez did not alter the longstanding Arizona rule that a non-pleading defendant "may not assert a claim of ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel."

¶ 4 Non-pleading defendants like Escareno-Meraz have no constitutional right to counsel in post-conviction proceedings; thus, despite the existence of state rules providing counsel, a claim that Rule 32 counsel was ineffective is not a cognizable ground for relief in a subsequent Rule 32 proceeding. See State v. Mata, 185 Ariz. 319, 336-37, 916 P.2d 1035, 1052-53 (1996); State v. Krum, 183 Ariz. 288, 291-92 & n. 5, 903 P.2d 596, 599-600 & n. 5 (1995); Osterkamp v. Browning, 226 Ariz. 485, ¶ 18, 250 P.3d 551, 556 (App.2011); State v. Armstrong, 176 Ariz. 470, 474-75, 862 P.2d 230, 234-35 (App.1993), overruled on other grounds by State v. Terrazas, 187 Ariz. 387, 390, 930 P.2d 464, 467 (App.1996). On review, Escareno-Meraz asserts that, in light of Martinez, we should extend the right to effective assistance of Rule 32 counsel to non-pleading defendants. In Martinez, the Supreme Court determined:

___ U.S. at ___, 132 S.Ct. at 1320.

¶ 5 But the Court did not ground its decision in a constitutional right, instead determining that defendants had an "equitable" right to the effective assistance of initial post-conviction counsel, and it limited its decision to the application of procedural default in federal habeas review. Id. at ___, 132 S.Ct. at 1315, 1319-20. Indeed, the Court expressly stated it was not deciding the question of whether a defendant is entitled to effective assistance of counsel in the first collateral proceeding in which the defendant may assert a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Id. at ___, 132 S.Ct. at 1315.

¶ 6 Thus, Martinez does not alter established Arizona law. Escareno-Meraz additionally suggests that we nonetheless should create a right for non-pleading defendants to effective representation in Rule 32 proceedings due to the "limited" nature of federal habeas review.1 Even if we could disregard our supreme court's determination that no such right exists, we find no basis to do so. See State v. Sullivan, 205 Ariz. 285, ¶ 15, 69 P.3d 1006, 1009 (App.2003) (court of appeals may not disregard decisions of supreme court).

¶ 7 The trial court did not err in summarily dismissing Escareno-Meraz's successive notice of post-conviction relief. Although review is granted, relief is denied.
