CALVIN BORRE, COMPLAINANT, VS. BENJAMIN MARAVILLA, RESPONDENT.

In a sworn letter-complaint filed with the Office of the Chief Justice
on April 8, 1975, Calvin R. Borre of Davao City charged Benjamin Maravilla,
then Deputy Sheriff in the Office of the Provincial Sheriff at Davao City with
“serious insinuations to extort, intimidations in the performance of duty,
dishonesty, oppression, abuse of authority and backsliding x x x.”

The letter-complaint was referred to the respondent, Benjamin
Maravilla, for Comment in a 1st Indorsement dated April 10, 1975.

On January 7, 1977,
a first tracer was sent to “Mr. Benjamin Maravilla, Former Deputy
Sheriff” through the Clerk of Court and Ex-Officio Sheriff of the Court of
First Instance, Laoag City.  The said first tracer was obviously sent to
the wrong address, the respondent, being formerly a deputy sheriff at Davao
City.

No comment from the respondent has been received.

It appears that on July
25, 1975, this Court in Administrative Matter No. P-1 entitled
“Cirilo Tinaha, complainant versus Benjamin Maravilla, respondent.”
dismissed the respondent from the service. 
The respondent in Administrative Matter No. P-1
is the same respondent Benjamin Maravilla in the instant adminis­trative
matter.

In this administrative matter, no government money is
involved.  The complainant, Calvin R.
Borre, prays that the respondent, Benjamin Maravilla, be removed from
office.  The object of this
administrative complaint has been achieved in Administrative Matter No. P-1.  Hence, no
further action need be taken.

WHEREFORE, this administrative matter is hereby dismissed
for having become moot and academic.

SO ORDERED.

Teehankee, (Chairman), Makasiar, Muñoz Palma, Martin, and Guerrero, JJ., concur.
