MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMMENT

Comes now Respondent and unto this Honorable Court, respectfully


states that:

1. He is the Respondent in AC No. 6429 entitled HAZEL M. CALUCAG, ET.

AL. –versus- ATTY. HAXLEY M. GALANO, which is pending before this

Honorable Division of the Honorable Supreme Court;

2. Respondent has an office address at Maharlika Highway, Carig Sur,

Tuguegarao City, Cagayan (c/o SALUD BALANON AND GALANO LAW

OFFICES) and hence, all notices and processes of the Honorable Court

should be sent to said address and not in Cagayan State University

because he is no longer connected with the University since June 2004;

3. On August 27, 2004, Respondent received a Resolution of this Honorable

Court on a complaint filed by herein complainants, through their counsel,

charging him of illegal practice of law and conduct unbecoming a lawyer

and requiring him to COMMENT on the matter within ten (10) days from

receipt of the same or until September 6, 2004, which period is due to

expire at the close of office hours today;

4. Considering the gravity of the charges in the complaint that may result to

the suspension or disbarment of the Respondent from the legal

profession, and with his present commitment, herein Respondent cannot

be expected to submit the required COMMENT within the remaining

hours;

1
5. Respondent filed the foregoing motion with all urgency and with no

intention whatsoever to delay or obstruct the speedy administration of

justice; and

6. For this reason, Respondent moves for a ten (10) day extension of time to

file his COMMENT, or until September 16, 2004 in order to adequately and

intelligently prepare the same as this COMMENT may very well be the last

pleading that he may file if his membership in the legal profession be cut

short because of this complaint;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed that

Respondent be granted a ten (10) day extension, or until September 16, 2004, to

submit his COMMENT on the complaint.

Other reliefs, just and equitable under the premises, are likewise prayed

for.
