KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:
Patricia Davis was one of séveral Alabama legislators investigated for taking bribes. She was convicted by a jury of four counts of violating the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951. She appeals the district court’s failure to grant her a continuance before trial, the jury instructions, and the calculation of her sentence under the federal sentencing guidelines. We affirm the district court on all issues except one aspect of sentencing, for which we remand for further proceedings.
