Thigpen v. Antwine
Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided February 15, 1949
201 Okla. 150; 202 P.2d 1073; 1949 OK 28; 1949 Okla. LEXIS 530

Thigpen v. Antwine

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The defendant has appealed from a judgment entered against him in the trial court, and on June 28, 1948, he filed his brief. The authorities cited therein reasonably sustain the allegations of error. Plaintiff 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, but the cause will be reversed and remanded, with directions.

The cause is reversed and remanded, with directions to vacate the judgment entered for the plaintiff and grant a new trial.
