ARNOLFO G. SEGUISABAL, PETITIONER, VS. SALESHE GIMENEZ BAKING, REP. BY DOMINDA GIMENEZ, RESPONDENT,
LAGURA-YAP, J.:
In our Resolution dated August 15, 2013[1], We directed the petitioner to cure the noted defects within ten (10) days from notice and non-compliance therewith shall cause the dismissal of the petition.
Upon verification, the Judicial Records Division (CA-JRD) made a report[3] that no compliance has been made by the petitioner as of February 18, 2014. The failure of the petitioner and neglect to comply with the Resolution dated August 15, 2013, or to take any necessary steps or action within a reasonable period of time despite the time frame given, clearly manifests a lack of interest to pursue the appeal.
WHEREFORE, pursuant to Section 1(h), Rule 504 of the Revised Rules of Court, the Petition is hereby DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED.
Lagura-Yap, and *Quijano-Padilla, JJ. concur.
