This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2007-03-05
CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
A graver reason that impels this court to reject petitioner's plea is the mode taken by petitioner in elevating the case to this court. In the case of Fabian v. Desierto,[34] this court ruled that appeals, if availing,[35] from decisions of the Office of the Ombudsman in administrative disciplinary cases should be brought to the Court of Appeals under the provisions of Rule 43[36] of the Rules of Court. In Lanting v. Ombudsman,[37] we underscored the catena of cases subsequent to the Fabian ruling, thus:In Fabian v. Desierto, we held that only "appeals from the decisions of the Office of the Ombudsman in administrative disciplinary cases should be taken to the Court of Appeals under the provisions of Rule 43 (of the 1997 Revised Rules of Civil Procedure)." We reiterated this ruling in Namuhe vs. Ombudsman and recently in Barata vs. Abalos, Jr. and Coronel vs. Aniano Desierto, as Ombudsman, and Pedro Sausal, Jr.[38]
