P. v. Accredited Surety & Casualty Co. CA2/4
In this bail forfeiture case, Accredited Surety & Casualty Company (Accredited) appeals from the trial court’s order denying relief from bail forfeiture and granting summary judgment on the amount of its bond, plus costs. Accredited contends that the judgment must be reversed because Accredited was entitled to relief from forfeiture under Penal Code section 1305, subdivisions (g) and (j). In the alternative, Accredited contends that it was entitled to an additional 13-day extension of time under section 1305.4 before summary judgment was appropriate. We conclude that Accredited failed to satisfy subdivision (g), that subdivision (j) is irrelevant as to whether subdivision (g) was satisfied, and that although the trial court’s rationale in denying an additional 13-day extension was incorrect, the ruling was correct on the ground that the court lacked jurisdiction to grant an extension. We therefore affirm.
