Opinion

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2024-0083, George Sideris v. Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England & a., the court on October 11, 2024, issued the following order:

The court has reviewed the written arguments and the record submitted on appeal, and has determined to resolve the case by way of this order. See Sup. Ct. R. 20(2). The plaintiff, George Sideris, appeals an order of the Superior Court (Ignatius, J.), issued following a hearing, granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant, Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England,1 on his claim for employment discrimination. The plaintiff advances numerous undeveloped arguments challenging the trial court’s decision. As the appealing party, the plaintiff has the burden of demonstrating reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014); see also State v. Blackmer, 149 N.H. 47, 49 (2003) (explaining that issues raised without developed legal argument do not warrant appellate review). 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 and affirm the court’s decision. See Gallo, 166 N.H. at 740; Sup. Ct. R. 25(8).

Affirmed.

MacDonald, C.J., and Bassett, Donovan, and Countway, JJ., concurred.
