Rivera v. Sepúlveda
Rivera v. Sepúlveda
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
Manuel Rivera Cintron presented through his attorney a sworn petition to this court praying that a writ of certiorari issue to the judge of the District Court of Mayagüez for the purpose of reviewing the proceedings in case No'. 4204 for the trial of the right to personal property, instituted by Manuel Rivera in the case of Agustín Silva v. Benigno Tua.
The writ prayed for was issued and the record of the original proceedings was brought up to this court. We have examined the same carefully and it does, not appear therefrom that the claimant opposed the filing of the defendant’s answer on the date on which it was presented, nor that he moved the district court to strike out the answer and render judgment on the pleadings as stated in the petition, nor that he objected during the trial to the introduction of evidence by the defendant.
Therefore, and without even pausing to consider whether,, in case the allegations set forth in the petition to this court were true, a review of said proceedings would lie, we are of the opinion that the writ issued should be quashed and the case remanded to the court of its origin with an admonition to the petitioner that it is not good practice to make state
Writ of certiorari quashed and petition dismissed.
