not necessarily result in the dismissal of the administrative case. We have repeatedly
ruled that: chan robles virtual law library
Respondent Judge Paz's actuation constitutes simple misconduct, which for a first
offense is punishable with suspension of one month and one day to six months. [17]
However, respondent Judge Paz had retired compulsorily on 21 September 1998. In lieu
of suspension, respondent Judge Paz should be fined, not P1,000 as recommended by
the Investigating Justice, but P20,000 considering that simple misconduct is a less
serious charge.[18] chan robles virtual law library
WHEREFORE, respondent Judge Benedicto A. Paz is adjudged guilty of SIMPLE
