Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided March 21, 1911 · No. 1656 · Kane
114 P. 609; 28 Okla. 470; 1911 OK 84; 1911 Okla. LEXIS 129

Counsel

Redmond S. Cole and N.E. McNeil, for defendant in error.

Clegg v. Board of Com'rs of Pawnee County

Opinion of the Court

KANE, J.

This cause comes on to be heard upon the motion of defendant in error to dismiss the appeal herein, for the reason that no briefs have been filed or served in said; cause, although said appeal was taken more than siy months ago, and it is therefore manifest that said appeal was taken for the purpose of delay only.

As there is no appearance by the plaintiff in error resisting this motion, and no request made for leave to file briefs out of time, we think there is room for the inference of counsel that the appeal was taken for the purpose of delay, and the motion to dismiss is accordingly sustained.

All the Justices concur.
