P. v. The North River Insurance Co. CA2/5
Defendant, The North River Insurance Company (North River), and real party in interest, Bad Boys Bail Bonds (Bad Boys), appeal from a summary judgment on a bail bond forfeiture under Penal Code section 1306. Prior to the judgment, the trial court erred in determining the latest permissible date for the period during which the surety could surrender the criminal defendant or establish other grounds that support vacating the forfeiture. Nevertheless, we cannot find reversible error because even if the trial court had granted an extension to the latest permissible date, appellants have not established a ground for vacating the forfeiture. Furthermore, summary judgment was not premature because it was entered the day after the 180-day extension period—as measured from the date of the extension order—elapsed. We affirm.
