AGREED ORDER

JULIET GRIFFIN, Magistrate Judge.

Upon the agreement of Plaintiff Quorum Health Resources, LLC ("QHR") and Defendant Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company ("Ironshore"), as evidenced by the signatures of their counsel below, the Court finds as follows:

In order to resolve a portion of the discovery dispute pending before this Court, Plaintiff QHR and Defendant Ironshore agree as follows:

1. QHR withdraws the written discovery propounded on Ironshore on or about June 4, 2014. Should QHR amend its complaint to allege bad faith claims against Ironshore, QHR may thereafter reinstate this written discovery. Ironshore reserves all rights to object to, or seek a protective order against, such discovery, except that Ironshore expressly agrees not to contend that such discovery is untimely on the basis of the Court's February 14, 2014 Scheduling Order.

2. QHR withdraws deposition subject nos. 37 through 54, inclusive, under Attachment A to the 30(b)(6) deposition notice served on or about June 6, 2014. Should QHR amend its complaint to allege bad faith claims against Ironshore, QHR may thereafter re-notice a 30(b)(6) deposition on the withdrawn subjects. Ironshore reserves all rights to object to, or seek a protective order against, such notice or deposition, except that Ironshore expressly agrees not to contend that such notice or deposition is untimely on the basis of the Court's February 14, 2014 Scheduling Order.

3. QHR and Ironshore agree that Ironshore's (1) Opposition to QHR's Motion for Leave to Propound Additional Interrogatories and (2) Opposition to QHR's Motion to Modify Scheduling Order and Request to Preclude QHR from Obtaining Bad Faith Discovery from Ironshore, both filed with the Court on June 30, 2014, are hereby moot and need not be considered by the Court.

4. QHR and Ironshore agree that July 23, 2014 remains the deadline for these parties to conduct discovery as between themselves, including depositions, with the exception of moving to compel responses to any discovery served prior to this cutoff date and obtaining supplemental responses or answers if such motion is granted, and with the exception of any discovery relating to any bad faith claims that may be filed by QHR against Ironshore, should QHR do so in the future. This deadline does not apply to any depositions that commence on or before July 23, 2014, but are not completed by that date.

It is therefore ORDERED.
