Ravi BOTLA, M.D.,
Petitioner
v.
Salvador DEL TORO Jr.,
Respondent
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-19135
Honorable Peter Sakai, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Jason Pulliam, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 11, 2015
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.
