California Court of Appeal
People v. Lexington Nat'l Ins. Co., B221639
Trial court's grant of a surety's motion to exonerate bail under Penal Code section 1305(f), on the basis that the surety had done all it could by finding the defendant in Chechnya, is reversed as the absence of an extradition treaty with Chechnya precludes relief from forfeiture under section 1305(f), and the trial court abused its discretion in granting relief based on consideration of the equities present in this case.
