	AC. NO. 5760 2005-09-30	HEIRS OF TIBURCIO F. BALLESTEROS v. ATTY. MANILEÑO N. APIAG CARPIO, J.
The appropriate penalty on an errant lawyer depends on the exercise of sound judicial discretion based on the surrounding facts.[60] The penalties for a lawyer's failure to file a brief or other pleading range from reprimand,[61] warning with fine,[62] suspension[63] and, in grave cases, disbarment.[64] In the present case, we agree with the penalty recommended by the IBP Board of Governors since respondent was clearly negligent in handling a number of cases.
