In the Matter of Anthony Henderson and Natasha Chirichiello

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2023-0414, In the Matter of Anthony
Henderson and Natasha Chirichiello, the court on October 1,
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 petitioner, Anthony Henderson, appeals order(s) of the Circuit
Court (Prevett, J.), issued following hearing(s), relative to the parties’ parenting
matter. On appeal, the petitioner advances numerous undeveloped arguments
alleging a laundry list of purported constitutional, contractual, corporate,
“common law,” and other violations. We affirm.

Among other things, the petitioner specifically alleges that the trial judge
was biased and should have disqualified himself from the case based on a variety
of purported misconduct, including conspiring against the petitioner, “willfully
forfeit[ing] the corporate charter of the town,” and committing “treason.” We
disagree. Based upon our review of the record, there is no evidence supporting
the petitioner’s allegations; accordingly, we cannot conclude that a reasonable
person would have questioned the trial judge’s impartiality. See Sup. Ct. R. 38,
Canon 2.11; State v. Bader, 148 N.H. 265, 270-71 (2002) (observing, among
other things, that adverse rulings alone do not render a judge biased).

As the appealing party, the petitioner has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014); see also State v.
Blackmer, 149 N.H. 47, 49 (2003) (explaining that issues raised without
developed legal argument do not warrant appellate review). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s order(s), the petitioner’s remaining challenges to them,
the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the
petitioner has not demonstrated reversible error and affirm the court’s
decision(s). See Gallo, 166 N.H. at 740; Sup. Ct. R. 25(8). Lastly, we note that
any issues raised in the petitioner’s notice of appeal that were not briefed are
waived. See In re Estate of King, 149 N.H. 226, 230 (2003).

Affirmed.

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