Deborah Southwell v. Demoulas Super Markets, Inc.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2021-0467, Deborah Southwell v. Demoulas
Super Markets, Inc., the court on October 17, 2022, 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).
The defendant, Demoulas Super Markets, Inc., appeals the order of the
Superior Court (Leonard, J.), following a jury trial, entering judgment on the
jury’s verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Deborah Southwell. The defendant
argues that the trial court erred in: (1) denying its motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict and/or to set aside the jury verdict; (2) denying its
motion to set aside the verdict and/or for remittitur; and (3) allowing a store
manager to testify concerning his observations of certain employees’ conduct as
seen on videotape.

As the appealing party, the defendant has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the defendant’s arguments, the relevant law, and the record
submitted on appeal, we conclude that the defendant has not demonstrated
reversible error. See id.

Affirmed.

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

Timothy A. Gudas,
Clerk
