OPINION

BEDSWORTH, J.—

American Surety Insurance Company (American Surety) appeals from judgment for the People forfeiting bail after a motion to set aside the forfeiture was denied. It argues the trial court lost jurisdiction to forfeit bail when the case was not called on the date set for arraignment by the jailer, and there was no jurisdiction on a later arraignment date set by the district attorney. We agree and reverse.
