URGENT MOTION FOR


EARLY SETTING OF HEARING

COMES NOW, Accused xxxxx, by the Undersigned Attorney, most respectfully


and states THAT:

1. The Accused has been charged for SIMPLE THEFT punishable by the
penalty of prision correccional in its minimum and medium periods, since the
value of the property stolen is alleged to be valued at Php 750.00.

2. The Accused xxxxx hereby withdraws his plea of not guilty and offers to enter
a plea of guilty with a prayer that the circumstance of plea of guilt and
extreme poverty and necessity be appreciated in his favor in the imposition of
the penalty.

3. Thus, in People vs. Macbal, G.R. No. L-48976, October 11, 1943, the trial
court considered extreme poverty and necessity as a mitigating circumstance
falling within Article 13 par. 10 of the Revised Penal Code, which authorizes
the court to consider in favor of an accused “ any other circumstance of a
similar nature and analogous to those above mentioned.”

4. As laid down in Article 64 par. 5 of the Revised Penal Code: “ When there are
two or more mitigating circumstances and no aggravating circumstances are
present, the court shall impose the penalty next lower to that prescribed by
law, in the period that it may deem applicable according the number and
nature of such circumstances.”

5. Moreover, the alleged stolen property has already been recovered at the time
of the incident.
6. Though the undersigned is mindful of the fact that court dockets have been
burdened of so many cases which greatly affects the scheduling of hearings,
accused Fernando M. Adolacion is begging the indulgence of the Honorable
Court to determine the possibility of plea-bargaining at an earlier date than
September 7, 2017, as he has already been in detention for almost four
months now – a period of time which could be his applicable sentence given
the circumstances stated above.

WHEREFORE, premised on the foregoing considerations, it is most respectfully


prayed unto this Honorable Court that the September 7, 2017 hearing of the above-
entitled case be RESCHEDULED on the 27 th day of July, 2017 at 2:00 o’clock in the
afternoon.

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