ORDER

Based upon the stipulations and representations of counsel, and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between from September 29, 2017 through November 9, 2017 would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
