Justin, what do you think of this?  I've seen 
sentencing delayed time and again in the interests of ongoing investigations.

Judge Refuses 90-Day Delay in Sentencing of Abramoff

MIAMI ­ A federal judge refused Monday to order a 
90-day delay in the sentencing of lobbyist Jack 
Abramoff, even though prosecutors and his 
attorney said the move could jeopardize a federal 
corruption investigation involving Congress and the Bush administration.

Abramoff attorney Abbe Lowell told U.S. District 
Judge Paul C. Huck that without the postponement 
the defense could be forced to reveal sensitive 
information at the sentencing hearing in Miami federal court.
