Reasons

• Per SHAMMARA H. HENDERSON, Judge, with J. MILES HANISEE, Chief Judge, and ZACHARY A. IVES, Judge concurring: The appellate court concluded that the Plaintiff did not meet the burden of demonstrating that the district court had erred in its judgment. The court emphasized the appellant's responsibility to provide well-supported and clear arguments to prove an error by the district court. After reviewing the briefings, authorities, and records, including related cases acknowledged by the district court, the appellate court found no error that warranted reversal. The appellate court's decision was also supported by the principle that the presumption upon review favors the correctness of the district court's actions, and it is the appellant's duty to affirmatively demonstrate error. Additionally, the appellate court noted that it could affirm the district court's order on any grounds presented, as long as those grounds did not require examination beyond the factual allegations considered below (paras 1-3).
