County of San Luis Obispo v. Greg Jaquez Bail Bond
Greg Jaquez Bail Bonds, Inc. (Bail Agent) appeals the trial court’s order denying its motion to vacate the forfeiture of a $100,000 bail bond posted by Bankers Insurance Company (Surety) to secure the release of a criminal defendant.
When the defendant failed to appear in court, the trial court ordered the bail forfeited. Following expiration of the 180-day appearance period in which to challenge the forfeiture, the Surety requested that the court retroactively toll the appearance period under Penal Code section 1305, subdivision (e) [hereafter section 1305(e)], to allow it to submit evidence establishing the right to exoneration of the bond under section 1305, subdivision (d) [hereafter section 1305(d)]. The court denied the tolling request.
