A federal judge, here in Indiana, agreed Thursday, to postpone Robinson's sentencing hearing because her attorney is challenging a pre-sentencing report from federal prosecutors.
Robinson was convicted on nine counts of fraud for her role in a scheme to steal nearly $6 million of taxpayer money from the housing authority by using fake payments for repair work that was never done.
She faces decades in prison, but no new sentencing date has been set.
Robinson's co-defendant, 42-year-old Douglas Donley, is a contractor from South Bend. He was found guilty of bank fraud and conspiracy charges for his role in the kickback scheme.
Thursday, he was sentenced to 27 months in prison with two years of supervised release and ordered to pay almost $304,000 in restitution.
The third defendant, 47-year-old Albert Smith, was the housing authority's asset director.
Smith was found guilty on 10 counts of bank fraud and conspiracy for cutting the fake checks to the contractors.
Smith's sentencing was rescheduled to April 25. No reason was given.
