Opinion

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2020-0308, Patricia A. Pelletier & a. v. Daniel F.

Wyatt, the court on April 15, 2021, issued the following order: The defendant’s motion to strike the plaintiffs’ brief is denied. The plaintiffs’ motion to amend their initial brief and appendix, and their motions to extend the time for filing a reply brief, are granted. 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 plaintiffs, Patricia A. Pelletier and Richard L. Kalika, appeal the order of the Superior Court (Delker, J.) entering a final decree in their quiet title action against the defendant, Daniel F. Wyatt. The plaintiffs argue that the trial court erred in: (1) dismissing Richard L. Kalika as a plaintiff for lack of standing; (2) granting the defendant a 45-day extension of time to obtain a survey; and (3) entering a final decree despite alleged defects in the surveyor’s plan.

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 order, the plaintiffs’ challenges to it, the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiffs have not demonstrated reversible error. See id. Affirmed.

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

Timothy A. Gudas, Clerk
