THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2024-0122, Earl Shaffer v. KAB Realty
Management, LLC, the court on October 11, 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, KAB Realty Management, LLC, appeals an order of the
Circuit Court (Gardner, J.), issued following a hearing, finding the defendant in
contempt of the court’s prior final order requiring the defendant to immediately
investigate and hire a professional exterminator to remediate a bed bug
infestation. The defendant argues that the trial court plainly erred because the
defendant complied with and did not willfully violate the court’s prior order. 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 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, Donovan, and Countway, JJ., concurred.

Timothy A. Gudas,
Clerk
