Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Joseph Sanders Haas, Jr. v. City of Nashua & a.

Opinion

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2019-0295, Joseph Sanders Haas, Jr. v. City of Nashua & a., the court on October 25, 2019, issued the following order:

Having considered the briefs, the memorandum of law, and the 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 Sanders Haas, Jr., appeals an order of the Superior Court (Colburn, J.) dismissing his small claim against the defendants, McLaughlin Transportation Systems, Inc. (McLaughlin) and the City of Nashua, for failure to state a claim. We construe his brief to argue that: (1) excluding him from a public auction held on McLaughlin’s private property violated his rights because the auction was open to the public; and (2) because city police officers, on a private detail, excluded him from McLaughlin’s private property, the city also violated his rights.

As the appealing party, the plaintiff 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 well-reasoned order, the plaintiff’s challenges to it, the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiff has not demonstrated reversible error. See id.

Affirmed.

Hicks, Bassett, and Donovan, JJ., concurred.
