Court of Appeals of Oregon March 13, 1996, 15-94-05549; CA A87607 (In re the Marriage of Lovette)

De MUNIZ, J.

Husband appeals from a dissolution judgment entered after he failed to appear for trial. In June 1994, wife filed for dissolution, and, in July, husband filed a response. Trial was set for February 3, 1995. At 2:50 in the afternoon on that date, husband’s counsel moved to postpone the trial.
