La cuestion a resolver es si el Hon. Juez recurrido abuso de su discrecion al ordenar la ejecucion. El articulo 2 de la Regla 39 dispone que antes de la expiracion del tiempo para apelar, una ejecucion puede expedirse a discrecion del Juez, fundada en buenas razones que se han de expresar en una orden especial. Discrecion es la facultad que la leyconfiere a los funcionarios publicos para obrar oficialmente bajo ciertas circunstancias, segun los dictados de su propio criterio o conciencia sin imposicion del criterio o conciencia de otros.
