Philippine Supreme Court Resolutions > Year 2008 > April 2008 Resolutions > [G.R. No. 173985 : April 15, 2008] ALIASGAR ALIPONTO DAYONDONG VS. COURTS OF APPEALS, ET AL.:

Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of the Court En Banc dated April 15, 2008

G.R. No. 173985 (Aliasgar Aliponto Dayondong vs. Courts of Appeals, et al.). - The present petition  for certiorari filed on August 24, 2006 assailing Court of Appeals Resolution dated January 18, 2006 which dismissed the petition before it for procedural lapses and the denial of the motion for reconsideration in its Resolution dated May 4, 2006.

It appears that the term of the office of the position contested by petitioner had expired after the conduct of the October 2007 barangay elections.  Considering that there are no issues involved in this petition which is independent from petitioner's claim to the position of barangay chairman, the petition may now be considered moot.

WHEREFORE, the petition is hereby DISMISSED.

Carpio, J., on leave.
