The petitioners were settlers living in a parcel of land owned by respondents. The petitioners' dwellings had been demolished or were threatened with demolition pursuant to a court judgment awarding the land to the respondents. The petitioners filed a writ of amparo, claiming the respondents' land titles were fraudulent. However, the Supreme Court ruled that a writ of amparo was not the correct remedy, as the writ does not cover threats of demolition from a final court judgment. It also noted the petition did not provide enough details on the petitioners' claim to the land.
