FIRST NAT'L BANK OF ROFF v. SMITH Annotate this Case FIRST NAT'L BANK OF ROFF v. SMITH 1905 OK 101 83 P. 1119 16 Okla. 123 Decided: 09/07/1905 Supreme Court of Oklahoma THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ROFF, I. T., a corporation, v. C. A. SMITH. Syllabus Error from the District Court of Noble County; before Bayard T. Hainer, Trial Judge. J. R. Scott and H. A. Smith, for plaintiff in error. Doyle & Cress, for defendant in error. PER CURIAM ¶1 The petition in error was in the court on December 13, 1904. By rule 6 (82 Pac. Xiii), appellants are required to file breifs within 40 days after the filing of the case-made and petition in error. On April 5, 1905, no briefs having been filed by appellant, the appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for failure to file briefs. On April 6, 1905, the appellant filed an application to be permitted to file bridfs out of time. We have examined the showing made by the respective parties and are of the opinion that the appeal shoul be dismissed. There was a part of the time in which the counsel for plaintiff was sick and could not prepare the briefs for his client; could have employed in that work, and the only reason he assigned for not doing so was the press of business. This court has repeatedly excuse for such failure. The appeal is hereby dismissed, at the cost of appellant. ¶2 Hainer, J., who presided in the court below, not sitting; all the other Justices concurring.
