Opinion

No. 21959

Opinion Filed February 14, 1933.

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error — Dismissal — Frivolous Appeals.

Where, upon examination of the authorities cited, it appears that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and a motion to dismiss has been filed, the appeal will be dismissed.

Appeal from District Court, Tulsa County; John Ladner, Judge.

Action between Irene Byrnes and E.M. Chase and others. From an order of the district court confirming the sale of certain property, defendants appeal. Dismissed.

E.G. Wilson, for plaintiffs in error.

Christy Russell and D. Clayton Arnold, for defendant in error.


This is an appeal from an order of the district court of Tulsa county confirming the sale of certain real estate and personal property after levy of execution.

The defendant in error has moved to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiff in error A.B. Chase has no interest in the case.

However, it appears from the examination of plaintiffs in error's brief submitted in this matter that this cause should be dismissed by the court on its own order for failure of the plaintiffs in error to comply with the rules of this court in their original brief. The court examined the brief to determine therefrom the nature of the case in the court below. There is no abstract of pleadings and not a sufficient abstract of the evidence to determine of what the plaintiffs in error complain. Certain arguments are made and errors claimed about the sale of personal property. Neither the order of sale nor order confirming sale is to be found in the abstract of the proceedings, and are not even described in the brief. The statement of the case does not even mention the court in which the original judgment was rendered and upon which the errors complained of are predicated.

No supersedeas bond approved by the court is filed and the plaintiffs in error have had more than two years leniency in this court. There appearing from the examination of the proceedings and the authorities cited to be no errors, or merit in the appeal, it should be dismissed, and it is so ordered.
