Steven P. Marshall & a. v. Tricia L. Hicks

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2023-0148, Steven P. Marshall & a. v. Tricia L.
Hicks, the court on May 14, 2024, 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 defendant, Tricia L. Hicks, appeals orders of the Superior Court
(Delker, J.), issued following a multi-day trial, granting declaratory and injunctive
relief, as well as certain attorney’s fees and costs, to the plaintiffs, Steven P.
Marshall and Erica A. Marshall, in the parties’ dispute over the scope of an
easement. The defendant advances a variety of arguments challenging the trial
court’s orders. 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 trial court’s thorough and well-reasoned orders, the
defendant’s challenges to them, the relevant law, and the record submitted on
appeal, we conclude that the defendant has not demonstrated reversible error
and affirm the court’s decision. See id.; Sup. Ct. R. 25(8).

Affirmed.

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

Clerk
