In his petition for certiorari filed with the Supreme Court, Atty. Dizon alleged that Atty. Padilla, a legal researcher in the Court of Appeals, drafted the assailed Decision; that he is ignorant of the applicable laws; and that he should be disbarred.

VI.
Yes. The Code of Professional Responsibility provides that a lawyer shall not, in his professional dealings, use language which is abusive, offensive or otherwise improper. Atty. Dizon’s allegations are personal in nature and have no place in a petition for certiorari.
