Guam - Thursday's sentencing of Ronnie Analista has been pushed back by several months. The 44-year-old faces the possibility of life in prison after pleading guilty and admitting to distribute between 5 and 50 grams of the drug Ice.

The conviction follows a more than yearlong investigation by the drug enforcement agency into Analista's drug dealings.  He's now scheduled to be sentenced on November 9 in federal court.
