Marriage of Grey and Taggart
Appellant James Taggart filed a postjudgment motion in a dissolution proceeding between himself and respondent Nicole Grey. The trial court — sua sponte, without advance notice to the parties, and before the completion of the briefing and submission of evidence — struck the motion on the ground that it lacked jurisdiction. We conclude the trial court’s action violated Taggart’s due process right to notice and an opportunity to be heard on his motion, and therefore reverse.
