California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from a judgment of the trial court denying defendant's motion to vacate an arbitration award and imposing sanctions, judgment is affirmed where defendant offered no coherent explanation for his failure to raise a supposed defense to the underlying action sooner, and because defendant made no attempt to substantiate the legal defenses he asserted in support of his motion.
