Please take notice that the Court, Second Division, issued a Resolution dated 15 December 2010 which reads as follows:

G.R. No. 190866 (People of the Philippines v. Salamoden A. Arimaw). - The records of this case were elevated to this Court on January 26, 2010, pursuant to the Court of Appeals Resolution dated April 27, 2007 which gave due course to the notice of appeal filed by appellant Salamoden A. Arimaw.

In compliance with the Court's Resolution dated February 17, 2010, the Office of the Solicitor General filed a Manifestation, stating that it is no longer filing a Supplemental Brief with this Court and is adopting all the allegations, issues, and arguments adduced in its Brief filed before the Court of Appeals. The Public Attorney's Office filed a Supplemental Brief praying for the acquittal of the accused.

After a perusal of the records of the case, the Court resolves to DISMISS the appeal for failure of the appellant to sufficiently show reversible error in the challenged decision to warrant the exercise of the Court's appellate jurisdiction.

WHEREFORE, the Court ADOPTS the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Decision dated December 27, 2006 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CR-H.C. No. 00160, finding appellant Salamoden A. Arimaw guilty beyond reasonable doubt for violation of Section 5, Article II of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9165 and Section 11, Article II of R.A. No. 9165, and AFFIRMS said Decision in toto.

SO ORDERED.
