PETITION FOR PERMISSIVE APPEAL DENIED; REMANDED

           Petitioner Ravi Botla, M.D. was sued by Salvador Del Toro Jr. for alleged medical

malpractice. The trial court denied Dr. Botla’s motion for summary judgment on limitations but

granted permission to appeal its interlocutory order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN.

§ 51.014(d) (West 2014); TEX. R. APP. P. 28.3. Dr. Botla petitioned this court for permission to

appeal and moved this court to stay the underlying proceeding pending resolution of the petition.

           Having considered the motion to stay, the petition, and the response, we conclude Dr.

Botla’s petition failed to meet the requirements for a permissive appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. &
                                                                                04-15-00061-CV


REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(d). We deny the petition and the motion to stay, and remand this cause

to the trial court.
