                    [Summary] => Suspended Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Francis Garchitorena has opted for early retirement before the Supreme Court can impose stiffer sanctions on him for failing to dispose of cases pending in his sala since 1987.   


The retirement of Garchitorena, who was suspended last year, takes effect today, three days before an SC-imposed deadline for him to resolve the backlog of cases.


Mandatory retirement age for justices is 70. Garchitorena is only 64.
