[G.R. No. 198117 : September 13, 2011]
FERMIN ENOCH, SR. VS. RUY ELIAS C. LOPEZ AND COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS
"G.R. No. 198117 (Fermin Enoch, Sr. vs. Ruy Elias C. Lopez and Commission on Elections).- In accordance with Rule 64 and other related provisions of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, governing review of judgments and final orders or resolutions of the Commission on Elections, only petitions which are accompanied by or which comply strictly with the requirements specified therein shall be entertained. On the basis thereof, the Court Resolved to DISMISS the instant petition for certiorari for non-compliance therewith, particularly for late filing as the petition was filed and the docket fees were paid on August 18, 2011, the due date being July 9, 2011.
In any event, the petition would still be dismissed for failure to sufficiently show that any grave abuse of discretion was committed by the Commission on Elections in rendering the challenged resolutions which, on the contrary, appear to be in accord with the facts and applicable law and jurisprudence.�
Del Castillo and Reyes, JJ., on leave.
Very truly yours,
(Sgd.) ENRIQUETA E. VIDAL
Clerk of Court
