THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2023-0500, James McDermott v. Thomas
Walsh, the court on July 16, 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, Thomas Walsh, appeals orders of the
Superior Court (Anderson, J.), in favor of the plaintiff, James McDermott, on
his claim for breach of contract. The defendant argues that the trial court
erred in: (1) denying his motion to dismiss; (2) denying his motion for
summary judgment; (3) admitting certain documents into evidence; and
(4) denying his motion to set aside the jury’s verdict.
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 Bassett, Hantz Marconi, Donovan, and Countway,
JJ., concurred.

Clerk
