G.R. No. 178477 | 2012-07-16

FIRST DIVISION

D E C I S I O N



DEL CASTILLO, J.:


          Heavy workload, standing alone, is not considered a compelling reason to justify a request for extension of time to file a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court.

          Assailed in this Petition for Review on Certiorari1 is the March 13, 2007 Resolution2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No.98133 which denied petitioners' Motion for Extension of Time. Also assailed is the June 1, 2007 Resolution3 denying petitioners' motion for reconsideration for lack of merit.
