KELLY, Presiding Judge:
¶ 1 Esteban Terrazas seeks review of the trial court's order summarily denying his petition for post-conviction relief filed pursuant to Rule 32, Ariz. R.Crim. P. We will not disturb that ruling unless the court clearly abused its discretion. State v. Swoopes, 216 Ariz. 390, ¶ 4, 166 P.3d 945, 948 (App.2007). Terrazas has not met his burden of demonstrating such abuse here.
¶ 2 After a jury trial, Terrazas was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a 10.5-year prison term. We affirmed his conviction and sentence on appeal, but vacated the criminal restitution order entered at sentencing. State v. Terrazas, No. 2 CA-CR 2011-0341,
¶ 3 After his conviction, Terrazas learned that the former student's Rule 38(d) certification had expired before the second trial. He then sought post-conviction relief, arguing that, as a result, he had been denied the right to counsel. The trial court summarily denied relief, concluding that Terrazas had not been denied his right to counsel because, irrespective of the former student's lack of current Rule 38(d) certification, Terrazas had been represented by the properly licensed attorney throughout his trial. This petition for review followed.
¶ 4 On review, Terrazas reurges his claim that representation by the former student violated his right to counsel and "require[s] reversal of [his] conviction without the necessity of showing actual prejudice." We agree with Terrazas that the complete deprivation of counsel during a critical stage of the proceedings is structural error — that is, it is presumptively prejudicial. See State v. Valverde, 220 Ariz. 582, ¶ 10 & n. 2, 208 P.3d 233, 235-36 & 236 n. 2 (2009). Terrazas relies primarily on Solina v. United States, in which the Second Circuit Court of Appeals determined that representation by an individual never authorized to practice law constituted the complete deprivation of counsel and that a defendant represented by such an individual suffered prejudice per se. 709 F.2d 160, 167-68 (2d Cir.1983). The Second Circuit limited its reasoning to those
Id. at 167.
¶ 5 The situation presented in Solina does not exist here, nor is it remotely analogous. While represented by the uncertified former student, Terrazas also was represented by a member of the bar. That attorney was "fully responsible for the manner in which [the proceedings] [we]re conducted." Ariz. R.Crim. P. 38(d)(5)(C)(i)(c). Thus, his right to counsel was not violated. Although Terrazas complains the attorney's presence cannot "cure[]" the former student's lack of proper certification, he does not support this argument with citation to authority, and we can discern no reason to adopt such a rule.
¶ 6 Although we grant review, we deny relief.
