Newkirk v. Parker

Opinion of the Court

CORN, J.

Plaintiff in error appealed from a judgment entered against her in the trial court, and on November 5, 1948, filed her 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, *584but the cause will be reversed and remanded, with directions.

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