Arnold Communications, LLC v. Shahryar Pezeshki & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2021-0311, Arnold Communications, LLC v.
Shahryar Pezeshki & a., the court on September 16, 2022, issued
the following order:

Having considered the parties’ briefs and the limited record submitted on
appeal, we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup.
Ct. R. 18(1). The defendants, Shahryar Pezeshki and Gandom & Company,
LLC, appeal an order of the Circuit Court (Pendleton, J.) entering judgment of
$8,320.44 in favor of the plaintiff, Arnold Communications, LLC, on its small
claim. We affirm.

On appeal, the defendants argue that the evidence was insufficient to
support the trial court’s decision. We are unable to review this argument
substantively because the defendants have failed to provide a sufficient record
for our review. As the appealing parties, the defendants have the burden of
providing us with a record sufficient to decide their appellate issues. Bean v.
Red Oak Prop. Mgmt., 151 N.H. 248, 250, (2004); see Sup. Ct. R. 13. The
defendants have not provided a transcript of the hearing on the merits. Absent
a complete record, we must assume that the evidence supported the trial
court’s decision. See Bean, 151 N.H. at 250. We review the court’s order for
errors of law only, see Atwood v. Owens, 142 N.H. 396, 397 (1997), and find
none.

Affirmed.

MacDonald, C.J., and Hicks, Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ.,
concurred.
