Gail Brown v. Anastasia Papaefthemiou

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2014-0463, Gail Brown v. Anastasia
Papaefthemiou, the court on February 26, 2015, issued the
following order:
Having considered the parties’ briefs and the record submitted on appeal,
we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R.
18(1). The defendant, Anastasia Papaefthemiou, appeals an order of the Circuit
Court (LeFrancois, J.) awarding judgment to the plaintiff, Gail M. Brown, in the
plaintiff’s small claims action. The circuit court order followed a 2012 superior
court order that resolved the parties’ boundary line dispute. We affirmed the
superior court order in 2013.
On appeal, the defendant argues that, despite the superior court’s findings
to the contrary and her admissions in the circuit court proceeding, the property
on which she cut trees and damaged border plantings does not belong to the
plaintiff. She also argues that the superior court’s decision is incorrect because
it was based upon an inadequate record and that she did not receive a fair trial
in the superior court case. As the appealing party, the defendant has the burden
of demonstrating reversible error. See Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. ___, ___, 103
A.3d 1183, 1186 (2014). Based upon our review of the trial court’s narrative
order, the defendant’s challenges to it, the relevant law, and the record submitted
on appeal, we conclude that the defendant has not demonstrated reversible error.
See id. at ___, 103 A.3d at 1186.
Affirmed.
Dalianis, C.J., and Hicks, Conboy, Lynn, and Bassett, JJ., concurred.
