THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2018-0456, Regal Compassion Center, LLC & a. v. New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, the court on May 6, 2019, issued the following order: Having considered the brief, 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 plaintiffs, Regal Compassion Center, LLC and Paul Morrissette, appeal orders of the Superior Court (Kissinger, J.) dismissing their claims against the defendant, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (the department), for failure to state a claim. The plaintiffs contend that the trial court erred by: (1) ruling that their application to the department did not create a contract; (2) determining that they did not plead their fraud claim with sufficient specificity or sufficient facts establishing that the department acted for the purpose of inducing their reliance; (3) concluding that their promissory estoppel claim was barred by sovereign immunity, see XTL-NH, Inc. v. N.H. State Liquor Comm’n, 170 N.H. 653, 659 (2018); and (4) denying their motion to amend their complaint.

As the appealing parties, the plaintiffs have 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 orders, the plaintiffs’ challenges to them, the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiffs have not demonstrated reversible error. See id. Affirmed.

Lynn, C.J., and Hicks, Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ., concurred.

Eileen Fox, Clerk
