P. v. Financial Casualty & Surety CA2/1
Appellant Financial Casualty & Surety, Inc. appeals from the trial court’s order denying its motion for relief from forfeiture of a bail bond. The trial court first denied appellant’s timely motion to extend the appearance period, after which summary judgment on the forfeited bond was issued. The trial court then denied appellant’s motion brought under Penal Code section 1305.6 to set aside the summary judgment, to vacate the forfeiture, and to exonerate the bond. Appellant argues it demonstrated the required “good cause” for granting its section 1305.6 motion. We agree appellant satisfied the good cause requirement for the requested relief and, therefore, we reverse.
