Opinion of the Court — Williams

WILLIAMS, J.

Rule 25 of this court ( 20 Okla. xii , 95 Pac. viii ) provides in part as follows:

“The brief shall contain the specifications of the errors complained of, separately set forth and numbered; the argument and authorities in support of each point relied on, in the same order.”

The brief of the plaintiff in error in no respect complies with the provisions of said rule.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.

TURNER, C. J., and HAYES, KANE, and DUNN, JJ„ concur.
