    POURRON, County Treas., v. SHULL, Bank Com’r.
    No. 20120.
    Opinion Filed June 16, 1931.
    C. M. Earnest, Co. Atty., for plaintiff in error.
    Titus & Hill, for defendant in error.
   PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court of Grant county, Okla., in an action wherein the defendant in error was plaintiff. The plaintiff in error in due time served and filed his brief in full compliance with the rules of this court, but the defendant in error has wholly failed to file any brief, or to otherwise appear in this court on the merits of the cause, nor has he offered any excuse for his failure to do so.

“Where plaintiff in error has served and filed its brief in compliance with the rules of this court, and the defendant in error has neither filed a brief, nor offered any excuse for his failure to do so, this 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, in accordance with the prayer of the petition in error.” City National Bank v. Coatney, 122 Okla. 233, 253 Pac. 481.

In this ease, the petition in error prays that this cause be réversed, directing the court below to vacate, set aside its former judgment, and enter judgment for the plaintiff in error. We find upon examination the authorities cited by plaintiff in error Reasonably support the contention of plaintiff in error, and we therefore reverse the judgment of the lower court and direct it to vacate its former judgment and enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff in error.
