John P. Ford & a. v. Kenneth T. Stys & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2023-0350, John P. Ford & a. v. Kenneth T.
Stys & a., the court on May 9, 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 plaintiffs, John P. Ford, individually and as beneficiary
of the Cooper Farm Airfield Trust, and John P. Ford and Karen L. Ford as
trustees of the Ford Family Revocable Trust, appeal an order of the Superior
Court (Tucker, J.) on their complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief
against the defendants, Kenneth T. Stys and Gen Marie Stys, and Kenneth T.
Stys as trustee of the Cooper Farm Airfield Trust, relating to disputes over the
use of certain easements.

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.

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

Clerk
