California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from the trial court's denial of Plaintiff's motion to register a judgment against Defendant, the order is affirmed where: 1) Code of Civil Procedure section 1710.40 was the proper means to challenge registration of a sister-state judgment on jurisdictional grounds; 2) Section 1710.40's 30-day limitations period was inapplicable to challenges based on lack of fundamental jurisdiction; and 3) the trial court did not err in ruling that the sister-state default judgment against Defendant was void.
