Crawn v. Gonzalez CA4/2
Plaintiff David Crawn appeals the judgment of dismissal of his personal injury action, which the trial court dismissed after settlement under California Rules of Court, rule 3.1385(b). The trial court gave as an alternate ground for dismissal counsel’s failure to personally appear at an order to show cause hearing, and her failure to file a declaration within the deadline the trial court imposed. Crawn contends the dismissal was an abuse of discretion and we agree. We reverse the dismissal and remand for the trial court to return the case to the civil active list.
