PER CURIAM
Indeed, in Re: Report on the Judicial Audit Conducted in the Regional Trial Court, Branch 4, Dolores, Eastern Samar[44] and Padilla v. Silerio,[45] the Court expressly enjoins a judge to carefully pore over all documents before signing the documents and giving them official imprimatur. The judge's signing of orders must not be taken lightly, or be regarded as the usual paper work that passes through the judge's hands for signature.[46] Also, according to Suroza v. Honrado,[47] a judge is inexcusably negligent if he fails to observe in the performance of his duties that diligence, prudence and circumspection that the law requires in the rendition of any public service.

PER CURIAM
In Re: Report on the Judicial Audit Conducted in the Regional Trial Court, Branch 4, Dolores, Eastern Samar,[14] the Court, noting that the respondent judge was found guilty of gross inefficiency in an earlier case, and of gross ignorance of the law in two other cases, again adjudged him guilty of gross ignorance of the law for the third time. The Court held that, taken altogether, the infractions committed by the respondent judge warranted the imposition of the penalty of dismissal.

PER CURIAM
The subsequent retirement of a judge or any judicial officer from the service does not preclude the finding of any administrative liability to which he is answerable.[250]
