There are multiple parts to a federal sentencing hearing that the judge must work through before a final decision can be announced.
This thread explains them a bit so you can understand what will/is happening.
/1
The base level for obstruction of justice cases is 14.
The govt & Probation Office are arguing for 4 additional enhancements. The judge has to rule each one separately. The final level depends on those rulings. /2
1. Threat to a witness- 8 levels;
2. Substantial interference with justice - 3 levels;
3. Extensive scope - 2 levels;
4. Obstruction of his own trial - 2 levels.
If the judge applies them all, the final level is 29, carrying 87-108 months./7
