California Court of Appeal

Denial of defendant's motion to set aside a judgment of paternity as untimely is affirmed over claims of error that: 1) defendant's motion was timely; 2) plaintiff-county should have been estopped from asserting the motion was untimely because the California Department of Child Support Services (CDCSS) posted letters on its website stating that previously established fathers, such as defendant, had until December 31, 2006 to file a motion to set aside judgment of paternity; and 3) defendant relied on those letters in filing his motion on December 29, 2006.
