NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION
This opinion shall not "constitute precedent or be binding upon any court." Although it is posted on the internet, this opinion is binding only on the parties in the case and its use in other cases is limited. R. 1:36-3. Before Judges Ostrer and Whipple. On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Special Civil Part, Morris County, Docket No. DC-001716-16. Darlene Esposito, appellant pro se. Charles Michael Damian, attorney for respondent (Rebecca L. Eckert, on the brief). PER CURIAM
Plaintiff appeals from the trial court's grant of summary judgment, dismissing with prejudice her pro se Special Civil Part complaint against defendant, Elite Transcripts, Inc. Plaintiff alleged that various wrongs by defendant, which is in the business of preparing appellate transcripts, resulted in the dismissal of her appeal in a separate case. However, defendant could in no way be liable for the dismissal of plaintiff's appeal as she did not order transcription services from defendant until two months after dismissal. Plaintiff did not oppose defendant's summary judgment motion, although she engaged in subsequent motion practice before the trial court.
Defendant maintains it was improperly named as Elite Transcription, Inc. --------
Based upon our de novo review of the record and applicable principles of law, see Henry v. N.J. Dep't of Human Servs., 204 N.J. 320, 330 (2010), we conclude that plaintiff's appeal lacks sufficient merit to warrant further discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(E).
Affirmed. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the original on file in my office.
