J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
The real party in interest, Jerry Reeder Bail Bonds, appeals denial of his motion to set aside a bail bond forfeiture and judgment.
The district court properly considered the appropriate factors and did not abuse his discretion. See United States v. Castaldo, 667 F. 2d 20, 21 (9th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 456 U.S. 978, 102 S.Ct. 2245, 72 L.Ed.2d 853 (1982).
The metaphoric reference to “horse race betting” was first suggested by Reeder’s counsel, and not, as deceptively stated by Reeder’s counsel, the district judge. Counsel must be scrupulously candid and truthful in any matter before the court. Whether the misstatement was negligent or intentional, the result is the same — the potential for misleading the court. 1 ABA Standards for Criminal Justice, Standard 4-l.l(d) and Commentary.
