                   __________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Texas Rule of Procedure 10 and Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 10.1, undersigned counsel, the law firm of Vinson & Elkins LLP,

hereby moves the Court for leave to withdraw as counsel for Appellant Todd

Enright (Enright).

      In support of this motion, counsel notes the following:
      1.     On November 10, 2014, Asclepius Panacea, LLC; Asclepius Panacea

GP, LLC; Daily Pharmacy, LLC; Daily Pharmacy GP, LLC; and Toth Enterprises

II, P.A. d/b/a Victory Medical Center (collectively, Appellees) filed their original

petition against QVL Pharmacy #181 GP, LLC, QVL Pharmacy #162 GP, LLC,

QVL Pharmacy Holdings, and Enright (collectively, Defendants) in the 98th

Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas (No. D-1-GN-14-004689).

      2.     In November 2014, Vinson & Elkins LLP (Vinson & Elkins) was

retained to represent Enright in this matter.

      3.     On June 3, 2015, Enright appealed the district court’s May 15, 2015

denial of Enright’s special appearance. Defendants QVL Pharmacy #181 GP,

LLC, QVL Pharmacy #162 GP, LLC, and QVL Pharmacy Holdings (collectively,

the QVL Defendants) are not a party to this appeal. Briefing on this appeal was

completed on September 28, 2015, and oral argument was heard on November 4,

2015. This Court has not issued a ruling as of the date of this motion.

      4.     Vinson & Elkins now has good cause to withdraw from representing

Enright.

      5.     On November 20, 2015, Vinson & Elkins filed a motion to withdraw

in the district court. Enright and Appellees (Plaintiffs below) consented to the

                                           2
withdrawal.1 On December 10, 2015, the district court granted Vinson & Elkins’

motion to withdraw. A copy of the district court’s order granting withdrawal is

attached as Exhibit A to this motion.

       6.      A copy of this motion has been delivered to Enright via electronic

mail, and he has been notified in writing of his right to object to the motion. In

addition, a copy of this motion has been sent to Enright at his last known address

both by certified mail and by first-class mail.

       7.      Enright consents to this withdrawal.

       8.      Counsel for Plaintiffs consent to this withdrawal and do not oppose

this motion.

       9.      Enright’s last known address and telephone number are:

               Mr. Todd Enright
               P.O. Box 25
               Hinsdale, NH 03451

               850.570.4793

       WHEREFORE, Vinson & Elkins LLP prays that this Court enter an order

granting this Unopposed Motion to Withdraw.

1
  Counsel for QVL Defendants, who are not a party to this appeal, withdrew from representing
QVL Defendants on March 13, 2015. Because no new counsel has been named, the QVL
Defendants were unable to provide or withhold their consent to Vinson & Elkin’s withdrawal in
the district court.
