Rosamond Community Services Dist. v. Satterfield
Appellant Satterfield failed to answer a civil complaint filed by respondent Rosamond Community Services District (the District). Appellants default was entered, and the District later obtained a default judgment. According to the complaint, appellant purchased property auctioned by the District and located on Diamond Street in Rosamond, California, but the grant deed prepared by a title company mistakenly included a legal description of an additional parcel of District property located on 20th Street in Rosamond. The default judgment reformed the recorded grant deed to include the legal description only of the Diamond Street property, quieted the Districts title as owner in fee simple of the 20th Street property, and awarded the District $18,176.60 in attorney fees and $479 in costs. More than six months after appellants default was entered, appellant moved to set aside the default and default judgment. The court denied appellants motion, and he now appeals from the courts order denying the motion.
