Rule 26.3. Sentencing Date and Time Extensions
(C) The Defendant's Presence or Absence. When setting a sentencing date, the court must order the defendant to be present for sentencing and, if the defendant fails to appear, issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest. Additionally, following a conviction based on a trial, the court must notify the defendant that if the defendant's absence prevents the court from sentencing the defendant no later than 90 days after the determination of guilt, the defendant will lose the right to have an appellate court review the trial proceedings by direct appeal.
(2) Limited Jurisdiction Courts. A limited jurisdiction court may pronounce sentence immediately upon determining guilt unless the court orders, on its own or on a party's or a victim's request, that the court will pronounce sentence at a later date that is not more than 30 days after the determination of guilt.
