The holding in the court’s own words

Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. Based upon our review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the plaintiffs’ challenges to it, the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiffs have not demonstrated reversible error.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2020-0308, Patricia A. Pelletier & a. v. Daniel F.
Wyatt, the court on April 15, 2021, issued the following order:

The defendant’s motion to strike the plaintiffs’ brief is denied. The
plaintiffs’ motion to amend their initial brief and appendix, and their motions
to extend the time for filing a reply brief, are granted. 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 plaintiffs, Patricia A. Pelletier and Richard L. Kalika, appeal the order
of the Superior Court (Delker, J.) entering a final decree in their quiet title
action against the defendant, Daniel F. Wyatt. The plaintiffs argue that the
trial court erred in: (1) dismissing Richard L. Kalika as a plaintiff for lack of
standing; (2) granting the defendant a 45-day extension of time to obtain a
survey; and (3) entering a final decree despite alleged defects in the surveyor’s
plan.

As the appealing parties, the plaintiffs have 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 plaintiffs’ challenges to it, the
relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the
plaintiffs have not demonstrated reversible error. See id.

Affirmed.

Hicks, Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ., concurred.

Clerk
