FDS Q76: Under what, if any circumstances, would you consider the postponement of a sentencing hearing?

FDS A76: Normally, I will grant short extensions to accommodate the schedules of counsel (or, occasionally, family members or victims). I will grant longer extensions in clearly-defined circumstances, such as when a defendant is in the RISE program or is cooperating with the government. I will not grant postponements as a form of informal probation.
