Sentencing for former House Speaker Jim Black has been
delayed after Black's attorney said the judge should step down.
In an order
filed Friday in Raleigh, Judge James Dever III cited the motion by Black's
lawyer and the court's busy calendar in canceling the May 18 sentencing date.
The sentencing has not been rescheduled. Black pleaded guilty in February to
one count of accepting things of value in connection with the business of state
government. He could face up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
