| On 22 September 2003, Chief Justice Davide directed [19] the Office of the Chief Attorney (OCAT) of this Court, to make a study, report and recommendation on the incident. On 20 November 2003, the OCAT submitted a Memorandum [20] to the Chief Justice opining that the respondent may be administratively charged, as a lawyer and member of the bar, for taking out the rollo of G.R. No. 72954. The OCAT made the following significant observations: Justice Gancayco compulsorily retired from the Supreme Court on 20 August 1991. [21] However, as is customary, the coterminous employees of Justice Gancayco were given an extension of until 18 September 1991 to remain as employees of the court for the limited purpose of winding up their remaining affairs. Hence, the respondent was already nearing the expiration of his "extended tenure" when he borrowed the rollo of G.R. No. 72954 on 13 September 1991. [22] | |||||
