Joseph Haas v. TD Bank

Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Joseph Haas v. TD Bank

Opinion

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2015-0242, Joseph Haas v. TD Bank, the court on September 25, 2015, issued the following order:

Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1). We affirm.

The plaintiff, Joseph Haas, appeals the order of the Superior Court (Kissinger, J.) dismissing his complaint against the defendant, TD Bank, N.A.

Complaints regarding adverse rulings by the trial court without developed legal argument are insufficient to warrant judicial review. State v. Blackmer, 149 N.H. 47, 49 (2003). The plaintiff’s brief consists of a single page with six numbered paragraphs. It contains no developed legal argument and does not otherwise comply with the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 16(3). Self-represented litigants are bound by the same procedural requirements as parties represented by counsel. In the Matter of Birmingham & Birmingham, 154 N.H. 51, 56 (2006). Accordingly, we decline to address the issues raised. See Blackmer, 149 N.H. at 49 (confining our review to issues fully briefed).

Affirmed.

Dalianis, C.J., and Hicks, Lynn, and Bassett, JJ., concurred.

Eileen Fox, Clerk
