Suspension of Atty. Florante A. Miano from the Practice of Law
On July 16, 1987, the Supreme Court of the Philippines issued Circular No. 17-87 regarding the suspension of Atty. Florante A. Miano from practicing law. This decision stemmed from a resolution in the case "People of the Philippines vs. Anita Claudio y Bagtang," where Miano, serving as counsel de officio, failed to file the necessary appellant's brief. Attempts to serve him with a notice to explain his failure were unsuccessful, as he was no longer residing at the given address. Consequently, the Court appointed a new counsel for the accused and suspended Miano's legal practice until further notice.
