JURISDICTION

Petitioner Martinez-Serna and co-defendant Jacobo Guarado were both convicted of transporting a narcotic drug for sale while they were represented by the same court-appointed counsel.1 The court of appeals affirmed their convictions. We granted Martinez-Serna’s petition for review to determine whether the trial court’s failure to appoint separate counsel for him violated his sixth amendment rights. See Rule 31.19, Ariz.R.Crim.P., 17A A.R.S. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const, art. 6, § 5(3), and A.R.S. § 12-120.24.
