April Lea Leslie's matter was up before Albury Local Court this week for finalisation.
But instead sentencing has been adjourned for two weeks to April 14.
IN OTHER NEWS:
While the matter was on the Albury list, it appears most likely that the sentencing will take place via the Wagga Local Court - one of five throughout regional NSW tasked with that job in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This though could not be confirmed.
Leslie, 26, has been held in jail, bail refused, ever since her arrest on August 12 after a magistrate said the seriousness of her offending meant she was most likely facing a lengthy prison term.
She pleaded guilty to 14 other charges involving the supply or an agreement to supply methamphetamine, cannabis and cocaine.
Her offending was detected via police telephone intercepts between June 24 and 29.
Another sentencing matter also delayed this week to April 14 involved the case of a West Albury man over the attempted armed robbery of a Smollett Street liquor store in October.
Kristian Davie was wearing a balaclava when he entered the shop with a large shifting wrench in his hand, demanding cash from a staff member.
Davie, 39, swung the tool at the victim before fleeing empty-handed.
He was charged with assault with intention to rob while armed with an offensive weapon and face blackened or disguised with the intention of committing an indictable offence.
