--decisions must be well documented, and the specialists must be able to defend his/her opinions. All these specific rules underline the fact that professional judgment must be exercised in those situations when the law and regulations don't give a solution.

Once you plead to a felony the judge has up to a year to sentence you. If it is delayed longer than a year(without the consent of the Defendant) the judge loses the power to sentence. As to misdemeanors that cannot delay longer than th maximum sentence which is 93 days in many cases though it can be as long as a year.
