George G. Burke v. Elizabeth Weeks & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2024-0123, George G. Burke v. Elizabeth Weeks
& a., the court on October 23, 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 plaintiff, George G. Burke, appeals an order of the
Superior Court (Ruoff, J.) granting summary judgment in favor of the
defendants, The Woodlands Homeowners Association, Inc. (association) and
several members of its board of directors (board), on the plaintiff’s claims
arising out of the board’s handling of a particular matter involving one of the
association’s members. The plaintiff argues that the trial court erred by
determining, based upon the summary judgment record, that the defendants
were entitled to summary judgment, by denying his request to upload video
recordings of depositions in connection with the summary judgment motion,
and by not investigating certain witnesses for alleged perjury in connection
with affidavits they had submitted. We affirm.

As the appealing party, the plaintiff has the burden to demonstrate
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the plaintiff’s arguments, the
relevant law, and the record provided on appeal, we are unpersuaded by the
plaintiff’s arguments and conclude that he has not demonstrated reversible
error. See id.

Affirmed.

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