FRANCISCO, J.:
“A perusal however of the petition reveals that there is deficiency in the payment of docket fees in the amount of P30.00 in violation of Sec. 3 (5th par.) of Rule 46 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure.
HOWEVER, in the interest of substantial justice, petitioner is given fifteen (15) days from receipt hereof within which to rectify the above-mentioned infirmity. Failure to do so will constrain Us to dismiss the instant petition.”[2]
The records of the case reveal that the Registry Return Card[3] shows that the counsel for petitioner received our 20 June 2013 Resolution on 23 July 2013. Thus, he had until 07 August 2013 to comply with the Court’s directive.
However, the aforesaid period had long elapsed yet, no compliance had been filed by the petitioner per verification from the Judicial Records Division (JRD).[4]
IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, for petitioner’s failure to comply with this Court’s directive, the instant petition is DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED.
