THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2022-0256, Chantel Candido-DaSilva v. Mary
Germaine, the court on February 24, 2023, issued the following
order:
The court has reviewed the written arguments and the record submitted
on appeal, and has determined to resolve the case by way of this order. See
Sup. Ct. R. 20(2). The plaintiff, Chantel Candido-DaSilva, appeals a final
decision of the Circuit Court (Subers, J.), following a hearing on the merits,
dismissing her petition brought under RSA chapter 540-A against the
defendant, Mary Germaine, on the basis that the plaintiff had not proven that
the defendant engaged in prohibited practices under the statute. On appeal,
she argues that the trial court unsustainably exercised its discretion by
denying her motion for a continuance filed two days before the hearing, and
that its decision on the merits does not “comport with the Law.” 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 orders, the plaintiff’s challenges to them, the relevant law, and the
record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiff has not
demonstrated reversible error. See id.
Affirmed.
MacDonald, C.J., and Hicks, Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ.,
concurred.
