California Court of Appeal

Order denying defendant-bond issuer's motion to set aside a summary judgment forfeiting bail is reversed where insufficient evidence supported the trial court's finding of sufficient excuse for the underlying criminal defendant's failure to appear at his arraignment, and thus, trial court lost jurisdiction to later forfeit the bond.
