STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS HEARING
BETH LABSON FREEMAN, District Judge.
STIPULATION
Defendant Coni Hughes and the United States, by and through their respective counsel, stipulate that, with the Court's approval, the October 22, 2019 status hearing shall be continued to December 17, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.
The defense recently received, and provided to the government, a psychiatric evaluation concerning Ms. Hughes' cognitive functioning. The parties are in the process of discussing resolution based on this report, and the defense continues to investigate and develop facts immediately necessary for this case's resolution.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree that the Court may exclude time from October 22, 2019 to December 17, 2019, and that an exclusion of time to December 17, 2019, is appropriate to allow for effective defense preparation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(iv).
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, upon stipulation of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the October 22, 2019, status hearing is CONTINUED to December 17, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.
THE COURT FINDS that failing to exclude the time between October 22, 2019, and December 17, 2019, would unreasonably deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
THE COURT FURTHER FINDS that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between October 22, 2019 and December 17, 2019, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
