On that date Ricci concedes that he was not present at the call of the calendar and did not notify the court that he was present when the court reached this case for hearing. Following plaintiffs presentation of testimony on her oral proof of claim, Ricci finally presented himself to the hearing justice for the first time. According to plaintiff, the court then permitted Ricci to testify as to his reasons for failing to timely appear at this and other previous hearings. At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial justice denied Ricci’s motion to vacate and entered judgment for plaintiff for $1,650 plus interest and attorney’s fees in the amount of $4,875 plus costs.
