County of Los Angeles v. Alleheny Casualty Co.
Allegheny Casualty Company (Allegheny Casualty) appeals from an order denying its motion to vacate summary judgment on a bail bond forfeiture and to recall and set aside the bail bond forfeiture and exonerate the bail bond. We find that this was an appealable order from which Allegheny Casualty timely filed a notice of appeal, and therefore deny the claim of plaintiff County of Los Angeles that the appeal should be dismissed. We further find that because the trial court found there was reason to believe that a sufficient excuse may have existed for defendants failure to appear, the trial court retained jurisdiction to later declare the bail bond forfeited upon defendants failure to appear and to enter summary judgment. Court find no error in the order denying Allegheny Casualtys motion to vacate the summary judgment, and affirm that order.
