CR No. 42808. The CA affirmed the November 28, 2018 Order 2 of the Regional Trial Court, Mandaluyong City, Branch 213 (RTC-Br. 213) which dismissed the petition to cite respondents in contempt because: (1) respondent Quantum Hotels & Resorts, Inc. had fully complied with the July 11, 2011 Decision 3 of the RTC, Mandaluyong City, Branch 211 (RTC-Br. 211); and (2) respondents Vanderbuild Re Holdings Corp., Joaquin Mercado, and BSA Tower Condominium Corporation cannot be bound by the July 11, 2011 Decision of the RTC-Br. 211 since they were never impleaded in the case.
This Court denies the petition.
A perusal of the records reveals that petitioner failed to comply with the Efficient Use of Paper Rule. 4First, it did not file a CD. Second, it failed to file a Verified Declaration that the pleading and annexes submitted electronically are complete and true copies of the printed documents and annexes filed with this Court in compliance with the Efficient Use of Paper Rule.
As regards the substantial issues, the Court affirms the ruling of the CA.
After a perusal of the records, this Court resolves to DENY the petition for failure of petitioner to sufficiently show that the CA committed any reversible error in the assailed Decision as to warrant the exercise of this Court's appellate jurisdiction. This Court does not find any cogent reason to disrupt the findings of the CA.
WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED. The December 13, 2019 Decision of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CR No. 42808, finding no reason to cite Quantum Hotels & Resorts, Inc., Vanderbuild Re Holdings Corp., Joaquin Mercado, and BSA Tower Condominium Corporation in contempt of court is hereby AFFIRMED.
