A.W. v. Paul Bridges CA2/6
Defendant Paul A. Bridges appeals an order of the superior court granting a Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) restraining order. (Fam. Code, §§ 6200, 6300.) The trial court authorized Bridges, a state prisoner, to make a telephone appearance for an 8:30 a.m. hearing. The hearing took place at 10:05 a.m., and the court proceeded with the hearing after finding Bridges did not call in. We conclude, among other things, that the court erred by not making a finding on whether Bridges willfully failed to make a telephone appearance. We reverse and remand.
