NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution datedJune 19, 2019which reads as follows:
"G.R. Nos. 244817 & 244845-5037 (Nasser C. Pangandaman v. Sandiganbayan). — After carefully reviewing the allegations and arguments in the instant petition for certiorari, the Court resolves to DISMISS the same for failure of the petitioner to show that the Sandiganbayan acted with grave abuse of discretion in issuing its Resolutions dated August 20, 2018 and January 08, 2019 in Criminal Case Nos. SB-17-CRM-2202 to 2298 and SB-17-CRM-2299 to 2395. The Court finds that they are in accord with the facts and the applicable laws and jurisprudence.
In this case, based on the attendant facts and circumstances surrounding the fact-finding investigation and preliminary investigation conducted by the Office of the Ombudsman, the Court does not find any grave abuse of discretion on the part of the Sandiganbayan in ruling that petitioner's constitutional right to speedy disposition of cases was not violated after applying the four-fold test enunciated in Remulla v. Sandiganbayan, 1 to wit: (1) the length of delay; (2) reason for the delay; (3) accused's assertion or non-assertion of his right to speedy trial; and (4) prejudice caused to the accused resulting from the delay.
WHEREFORE, the Court resolves to DISMISS the instant petition for certiorari.
SO ORDERED."
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) LIBRADA C. BUENADivision Clerk of Court
