DURHAM et al. v. BROWN et al.

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error — Reversal — Failure of Defendant in Error to File Brief.

Where plaintiff in error has served and filed its brief in compliance with the rules of court, and the defendant in error has neither filed a brief nor offered any excuse for his failure to do so, the court is not required to search the record to find some theory upon which the judgment of the trial court may be sustained, but may, where the authorities cited in the brief filed, appear reasonably to sustain the assignments of error, reverse the cause, with directions.

PER CURIAM.

On April 7, 1931, plaintiff in error filed case-made with petition in error in this court, and on November 3, 1931, the brief was filed by plaintiff in error.

The defendants in error have failed to file any brief or offer any excuse for such failure. The case is therefore, reversed and remanded, with directions to vacate and set aside the order and judgment heretofore rendered and render judgment for the plaintiff in accordance with the prayer of the petition in error. City of Oklahoma City v. Blondin, 163 Okla. 276, 21 P.2d 1053.
