Dannenbrink v. Starbuck
Plaintiff Robert Dannenbrink, Jr., gave a ring to defendant Diane Starbuck. Contending that this was a gift in contemplation of an aborted marriage, he sued under Civil Code section 1590 to obtain its return or a money judgment for its value. Defendant failed to answer and the court ultimately entered a default judgment for plaintiff. Approximately a year later, defendant moved to set aside the default and the default judgment contending she was never properly served with the complaint. The trial court denied the motion and this appeal is from that order. The decision of the trial court was based on conflicting evidence and substantial evidence supports its decision. Court therefore affirm the order.
