PEOPLE v. RANGER INSURANCE COMPANY
Denial of motion to extend 180 day limit for exoneration of bail bond was not an abuse of discretion where there was no surveillance, no checking of address information, and no enlistment of local police or other recovery specialists in an effort to actually apprehend absconder within 180 days, even though surety was aware of his probable whereabouts for at least five months before the 180 day period expired. District attorney's expressed disinterest in extraditing absconder from Mexico did not constitute good cause to vacate order forfeiting bond where such disinterest was not expressed until after 180 day period expired; and such expression of disinterest would not necessarily have precluded extradition had absconder been either detained in the presence of or identified by a Mexican law enforcement officer, as required by statute on vacatur.
