The Clerk is directed to forward the file in this case to Judge Nixon for further consideration1

joinder in the motion by defendant Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company ("Ironshore") (Docket
Entry No. 87), the motion of plaintiff Quorum Health Resources, LLC ("QHR") for partial summary
judgment and accompanying memorandum (Docket Entry Nos. 83-84), the notice of joinder filed

undisputed material facts in support of the cross-motions for partial summary judgment (Docket
Entry No. 85)3 and a duplicative filing of the exhibits (Docket Entry No. 86),4 the responses to the
motions (Docket Entry No. 92-93), and the replies (Docket Entry Nos. 96-97) to the responses.
It is so ORDERED.

JULIET GRIFFIN
United States Magistrate Judge

1

Oral argument was held on these motions on September 7, 2012.

2

The memorandum in support of the motion of defendant Lexington is filed as an
attachment (Docket Entry No. 82-1) to the motion rather than as a separate filing.
3

Instead of the parties' filing competing statements of undisputed material facts, the parties
filed one, agreed-upon statement of undisputed material facts as contemplated in the order entered
May 14, 2012 (Docket Entry No. 70).
4

Exhibits A-H to the joint statement (Docket Entry No. 85-1) are identical to the Exhibits
A-H attached to the notice of filing exhibits (Docket Entry Nos. 86-1 through 86-8). The only
difference is that Exhibit I (Docket Entry No. 86-9) is also attached to the notice of filing exhibits.
