R E S O L U T I O N


PER CURIAM:

In a sworn complaint 1 dated 25 September 1979, the spouses Erlinda Dalman and Narciso Melendrez charged Reynerio I. Decena, a member of the Philippine Bar, with malpractice and breach of trust. The complainant spouses alleged, among others, that respondent had, by means of fraud and deceit, taken advantage of their precarious financial situation and his knowledge of the law to their prejudice, succeeded in divesting them of their only residential lot in Pagadian City; that respondent, who was their counsel in an estafa case against one Reynaldo Pineda, had compromised that case without their authority.
