Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided November 4, 1941 · Welch, Corn, Osborn, Bayless, Gibson, Hurst, Riley, Davison, Arnold
118 P.2d 1017; 189 Okla. 579; 1941 OK 370; 1941 Okla. LEXIS 316 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

World Fire & Marine Ins. Co. of Hartford, Conn. v. Morgan

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The defendant has appealed from an adverse judgment on an insurance contract, and on October 2, 1939, filed its petition in error and on February 19, 1940, filed its brief, in which the authorities reasonably sustain the assignments of error.

The plaintiff has filed no brief and offers no excuse for such failure. As stated in Osborne v. Osborne, 163 Okla. 273, 21 P. 2d 1056, it is not the duty of this court to search the record for some theory upon which to sustain the action of the trial court.

The cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to grant a new trial.

WELCH, C. J., CORN, V. C. J., and OSBORN, BAYLESS, GIBSON, and HURST, JJ., concur. RILEY, DAVISON, and ARNOLD, JJ., absent.
