Opinion
HANSON (Thaxton), J.
Plaintiff County of Los Angeles (County) sought and was awarded a summary judgment against defendant Surety Insurance Company of California (Surety) for $20,000 and interest, the amount due on a bail bond forfeiture (Pen. Code, §§ 1305, 1306). While the summary judgment is regarded as a “consent” judgment, it is now established that the judgment, a final determination of the rights of the parties, is appealable. (People v. Wilshire Ins. Co. (1975) 46 Cal.App.3d 216, 219 [119 Cal.Rptr. 917].)
