Roger Stone secured a partial win Friday when a federal judge agreed to postpone his February sentencing for two weeks because of a slowdown in paperwork tied to the longtime Donald Trump adviser’s finances.

A jury convicted Stone in November on seven felony counts of lying to investigators, obstructing a congressional probe and witness tampering — crimes that carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison.

Stone was set to learn his punishment on Feb. 6, but U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Friday she’d allowed for a short delay until Feb. 20.

Attorneys for Stone asked Thursday for a monthlong extension because they had yet to compile all the financial and other records that federal probation officials need before they submit their report ahead of the sentencing.
