Anderson's attorney, Paul Stockler, requested the date be moved from Oct. 2 so Anderson's wife, state Sen. Lesil McGuire could attend. She is to be out of the country for a private organization, the motion to the judge said. She also didn't want the sentencing to occur during an upcoming special legislative session on oil taxes, set to begin Oct. 18 in Juneau.
Anderson was convicted in July of seven felonies including bribery, extortion and money laundering.
U.S. District Judge John Sedwick approved the delay this week. The sentencing will begin at 10 a.m.
