Furino first maintains that the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a second continuance of his sentencing hearing after he was induced to plead guilty in the belief that he would be given sufficient time to provide substantial assistance.  Furino was indicted in December 1991 after being identified as the source of a package of cocaine mailed from Florida to North Carolina.  He was released on bond and subsequentlyviolated the conditions of his release by using cocaine at least six times.  During this period, his trial was continued three times at his request.  In August 1992 Furino entered his guilty plea without a plea agreement.  He then remained at liberty so that he might have the opportunity to provide substantial assistance.  His October 1992 sentencing was continued briefly, but a second motion for a continuance was denied in spite of his representation that he had pled guilty in reliance on the government's assurance that sentencing could be continued to give him a longer time to render substantial assistance.  The government attorney did not recall making such a promise concerning sentencing, although he had agreed to delay the hearing on Furino's violation
