California Court of Appeal

In a personal injury suit arising from the purportedly dangerous condition of an apartment complex staircase, denial of plaintiff's motion to set aside judgment is affirmed over claim that the court abused its discretion in denying the motion because plaintiff represented himself at trial, and his assumption that he could competently represent himself at trial constituted mistake or excusable neglect.
