*946CROSBY, Acting P. J., Concurring.
I would affirm the order simply on the basis that Sokoloff did not seek to set aside the default judgment within a reasonable time, not to exceed two years, after entry of the default judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., § 473.5; Rogers v. Silverman (1989) 216 Cal.App.3d 1114, 1124 [265 Cal.Rptr. 286]; see also 8 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (3d ed. 1985) Attack on Judgment in Trial Court, §§ 185-187, p. 814 et seq.) Also, laches would prevent equitable relief in any event.
I also disagree with my colleagues’ decision to partially publish this opinion. It will tend to encourage sloppy practices.
A petition for a rehearing was denied May 28, 1992.
