1. Sentence must be imposed without unreasonable delay.2. Counsel shall assist the court in setting a sentencing date. The State or the defense must notify the court at the time of the entry of plea, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, whether the sentencing hearing needs a special setting or time frame to present due to the nature of the case, witnesses, victim impact statements, or expert testimony. The court may set these special sentencing hearings on dates and times different from the department's customary sentencing calendar.3. Counsel shall, unless otherwise permitted by the court, have all reports, sentencing memorandums, exhibits, written victim impact statements, and any other writing or documentation that counsel intends to rely upon at the sentencing hearing filed with the court and served on opposing counsel no later than 3 days before the sentencing hearing date.(A) Documents presented less than 3 days from the sentencing date constitutes good cause by the nonoffering party to continue the sentencing hearing. The nonoffering party may however waive a continuance if there is no objection to the documents, in which case the sentencing hearing shall be held, and the court may consider the documents.(B) If documents are offered less than 3 days from the sentencing date and the nonoffering party elects not to continue the sentencing hearing but objects to the presentation of the documents, a court may, in the interest of justice, refuse to consider the documents, or elect to consider the documents at sentencing over the objection, or continue the sentencing hearing on its own motion.4. The court shall not consider any ex parte communication, letter, report, or other document but shall promptly notify counsel for all parties, on the record, of any attempted ex parte communication or document submission.5. Any witness who gives oral testimony at the sentencing hearing must be sworn.6. Pending sentence, the court may commit the defendant to custody or continue or alter the bail.7. If the defendant enters a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill, or nolo contendere, the court may, as appropriate, defer judgment in accord with NRS 176.211; suspend further proceedings and place the defendant on probation upon terms and conditions that must include attendance and successful completion of a specialty court program pursuant to NRS Chapter 176A; transfer the action to a court or a department of the court for the purpose of assigning the defendant into an appropriate program or treatment plan, or order a presentence report and set a sentencing date.8.
