    NOTICE OF APPEARANCE OF APPELLATE COUNSEL &
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR FIVE-DAY EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
     RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR PERMISSIVE APPEAL

TO THE JUSTICES:

     Ravi Botla, M.D. has petitioned this Court to appeal the denial

of a summary judgment order. Salvador Del Toro, Jr. asks this Court

and all parties in the case to take notice that he has retained

appellate counsel: Kimberly S. Keller, Keller Stolarczyk PLLC, 234

West Bandera Road, No. 120, Boerne, Texas 78006, email:

kim@kellsto.com.

     Botla filed his petition for permissive appeal on February 6,

2015. Del Toro’s response is due on February 16, 2015. Due to the

short deadline allowed for the filing of a response to a petition for

                                 -1-
permissive appeal and Del Toro’s recent hiring of new counsel for

purposes of appeal, Del Toro respectfully requests this Court to grant

him a five-day extension of the response deadline, which would make

his response due on February 23, 2015. This extension is needed to

allow newly-retained appellate counsel to review the file, review the

petition for permissive appeal, and prepare and file a response. Botla

is unopposed to this extension request.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
