Purdum v. Holmes, B216493, involved a plaintiff’s action against a licensed notary for knowingly notarizing a third-party’s signature on a deed as if it were plaintiff’s, purporting to transfer plaintiff’s interest to the third-party. In affriming the trial court’s judgment in favor of the notary, the court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it set aside defendant’s default. Further, the trial court correctly concluded that each of plaintiff’s causes of action against defendant was barred by the six-year maximum limitation period that is prescribed for an action against a notary in his official capacity by section 338(f)(3), regardless of delayed discovery.
