Lynda Warhall v. Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office & a.
Opinion text
THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2014-0568, Lynda Warhall v. Hillsborough
County Sheriff's Office & a., the court on May 11, 2015, issued
the following order:
Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we conclude
that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1). We affirm.
The plaintiff, Lynda Warhall, appeals an order of the Superior Court
(Smukler, J.) granting summary judgment to the defendants, the Hillsborough
County Sheriff’s Office (Hillsborough) and the Town of Deerfield and Deerfield
Police Department (Deerfield). She contends that the trial court erred by finding,
upon the summary judgment record, that: (1) Deerfield had municipal
immunity, pursuant to RSA 507-B:5 (2010), and vicarious official immunity; and
(2) Hillsborough did not wrongfully terminate her employment.
As the appealing party, the plaintiff has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the plaintiff’s challenges to it, the
relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiff
has not demonstrated reversible error. See id.
Affirmed.
Dalianis, C.J., and Hicks, Conboy, Lynn, and Bassett, JJ., concurred.
Eileen Fox,
Clerk
