The Supreme Court of Justice denied the execution petition because the initial pleading failed to prove the cause of action. The plaintiff subsequently submitted a new petition attempting to rely on a different cause of action under Article 476(1) of the Civil Procedure Code. The court ruled that such a new pleading cannot establish a cause of action distinct from the one originally presented.
