Cowgill v. Francis
Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided May 29, 1944 · Corn, Gibson, Bayless, Hurst, Davison, Arnold
149 P.2d 253; 194 Okla. 236; 1944 OK 225; 1944 Okla. LEXIS 426 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

Cowgill v. Francis

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Defendants have appealed from a judgment entered against them in the trial court and on August 30, 1943, filed their 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 Gooldy v. Hines, 186 Okla. 583, 99 P. 2d 498, 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, but the cause will be reversed and remanded with directions.

The cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to vacate the order of the trial court granting the permit.

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