Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided May 18, 1943 · Corn, Gibson, Riley, Osborn, Bayless, Welch, Hurst, Davison, Arnold
137 P.2d 573; 192 Okla. 494; 1943 OK 189; 1943 Okla. LEXIS 215 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

Haynes v. Board of Trustees of Town of Antlers

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff in error has appealed from a judgment entered against him, and on September 3, 1942, *495 duly filed his brief. The authorities therein cited reasonably sustain the allegations of error. The defendant in error has filed no brief and has offered no excuse for such failure. Under such circumstances, 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 vacate the judgment for the plaintiff and enter judgment for the defendant.

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