Accel Capital, Inc. v. NAMR 2617, LLC CA2/17
Accel Capital, Inc., appeals from orders vacating five judgments entered based on sister state judgments obtained in New York under New York’s confession of judgment procedure. The superior court vacated the California judgments based on its finding Nazaret Chakrian, Alice Chakrian, NAMR 2617, LLC (NAMR), N & C Vanowen, LLC, and Juvinx, Inc. (collectively the Chakrian defendants) had not provided a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of their right to prejudgment notice and a hearing. Although California courts are required to give full faith and credit to sister state judgments, where, as here, entry of the judgments does not comport with constitutional due process protections, vacatur of the judgments is proper. We affirm.
