Molin, and Umang Khetarpal, M.D., or any others whose interest would be directly

affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or

before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2,

52.4, 52.8.

       We grant relators’ motion to produce the documents which were tendered to the

trial court for in camera inspection. Accordingly, we request that the trial court provide

this Court with the sealed documents which were reviewed in camera in the underlying

proceedings. Such documents should be filed with this Court, sealed, within ten days

from the date of this order.

       IT IS SO ORDERED.
