SCHUMAN.

¶0 Appeal and Error--Failure to Cite Authorities in Brief--Presumption in Favor of Judgment.
A plausible argument in the brief of the appellant unsupported by a proper citation of authorities is not sufficient to overcome the presumption indulged in favor of the correctness of the judgment of the trial court.

Action by R. Wyant and another against Morris Schuman. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiffs appeal. Affirmed.

¶2 It is well settled in this jurisdiction that an argument in the brief unsupported by a proper citation of authorities is not sufficient to overcome the presumption indulged by the Supreme Court in favor of the correctness of the judgment of the trial court.
