5. Attorney O'Toole is a disinterested party who has no interest in the
outcome of the pending Medical Assistance appeal involving the Decedent.
6. In furtherance of this matter, Petitioner also requests the appointment of a
Limited Adminstrator Pendente Lite, pursuant to 20 Pa.C.S. S 3160, solely for purposes

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reopened the appeal of the denial of the Medical

legal representative is available to represent Ms. Hennigan's interests. Otherwise, her
eligibility for benefits may be lost.

Administrator Pendente Lite, pursuant to 20 P.a.C.5.A. 3160, for the Estate of Estella
