Penza v. Brown CA2/1
Defendant and cross-complainant Ronald Brown appeals from a default judgment, contending the trial court erred in imposing terminating sanctions for his failure to comply with the court’s discovery orders. He also appeals from the order denying his motion to vacate the default judgment, contending he demonstrated excusable neglect.
For the reasons explained below, we conclude the trial court abused its discretion in imposing terminating sanctions. Accordingly, we reverse the default judgment and remand the matter.
