BRADSHAW v. MYERS Annotate this Case BRADSHAW v. MYERS 1942 OK 388 131 P.2d 79 191 Okla. 506 Case Number: 30691 Decided: 11/24/1942 Supreme Court of Oklahoma BRADSHAW v. MYERS Syllabus ¶0 APPEAL AND ERROR--Disposition of cause upon confession of error. Where an appeal is filed in this court, and the appellee upon due consideration files a confession of error which is reasonably sustained by the record, this court may reverse and remand the cause upon such confession of error, with directions. Appeal from District Court, Pontotoc County; Tal Crawford, Judge. Action in replevin for two mules by H. A. Bradshaw against Dorsey Myers. From an order sustaining a motion to dismiss, plaintiff appeals. Reversed and remanded, with directions. Date Crawford and John W. Hunt, both of Ada, for plaintiff in error. Kerr, Lambert & Conn, of Ada, for defendant in error. PER CURIAM. ¶1 Plaintiff brought an action in replevin in the justice of the peace court and the matter was appealed to the district court, whereupon defendant filed a motion to dismiss, which motion was sustained by the trial court. ¶2 Plaintiff has appealed from the order of dismissal by petition in error with bill of exceptions attached. ¶3 On October 28, 1924, defendant in error filed a motion in this court confessing error and moving that the case be reversed and remanded to the district court for further proceedings. ¶4 In such case we have held that we will examine the record, and where the allegations of error appear to be sustained the confession of error will be taken as true and the order entered as in the prayer of the petition in error. See O'Dell v. Sharp, 182 Okla. 534, 78 P.2d 810. ¶5 The cause is therefore reversed and remanded, with directions to the trial court to vacate the order of dismissal and proceed in accordance with the confession of error and the prayer of the petition in error. ¶6 WELCH, C.
