P. v. Accredited Surety & Casualty Co. CA4/1
Appellant Accredited Surety and Casualty Company, Inc., acting through its agent Golden Boy Bail Bonds (together, the Surety), posted a $100,000 bail bond on behalf of Hiram A. Novoa who later failed to make a required court appearance. The trial court forfeited the bond under Penal Code section 1305 and later entered summary judgment against the Surety. The Surety appeals from the order denying its motion to vacate the forfeiture and exonerate bond, and the subsequent judgment. The Surety contends that the trial court lost jurisdiction over the bond when it failed to enter summary judgment as required by section 1306 within 90 days of the expiration of the statutory appearance period provided by section 1305. We affirm.
