In State v. Vang, 2009 WL 817860 (Minn.App. March 31, 2009) the defendant failed to appear for sentencing and the court forfeited his bond. The surety showed substantial efforts to locate him and the court granted several extensions of the appearance period, but ultimately the surety reported that it believed the defendant was living in Canada. The defendant remained a fugitive. The trial court reinstated and discharged only $500 of the $10,000 bond, and the surety appealed. The Court of Appeals affirmed. The surety complained that the trial court had ruled on its motion without a hearing, but the Court held that no hearing was required. The Court reviewed the factors the trial court is to consider in considering whether to remit any part of the bail, and held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
