THE Court of Appeals refused to issue an injunction order seeking to stop a Quezon City court from hearing a petition for contempt filed by former Mayor Datu Andal Ampatuan Jr. of Datu Unsay, Maguindanao against broadcast journalist Jorge Cariño of ABS-CBN.

In a 12-page resolution penned by Associate Justice Ramon Cruz and concurred in by Associate Justices Remedios Salazar-Fernando and Marlene Gonzales-Sison, the appellate court’s Second Division junked the petition for certiorari and prohibition with applications for temporary restraining order (TRO) and writ of preliminary injunction, asking the court to annul and set aside the orders of Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge Afable Cajigal dated June 8, 2012 and August 14, 2012.
