No indication is given of the circumstances. If an attorney is representing multiple clients (and most usually are) there are bound to be conflicts in court schedules. Occasionally an attorney will ask another attorney to 'stand in' for him at a hearing if he is already committed to a court case in another court and finds it impossible to be two places at once. This is usally allowed by the court and as long as the replacement attorney did not have to be 'up-to-speed' on any particular matters of your case (you were only being sentenced) it is usually allowed.
