   Opinion by

DEVEREUX,, C.

This cause was filed in this court on August 14, 1913, and was submitted on September 13, 1915. The plaintiff in error has filed no briefs, nor asked for any extension of time within which to do so, nor given any excuse for failure to comply with rule 7 (38 Okla. vi, 137 Pac. ix). The defendants in error have filed a motion, service of which was duly accepted by counsel for plaintiff in error, to affirm judgment. We have examined the record and case-made, and see no reason why the motion should not be granted.

We therefore recommend that the judgment be affirmed.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
