The sentencing of an Allstate insurance adjuster and his co-conspirator in Texas accused of diverting $1.3 million in claims payments into their own pockets was delayed until August at the request of defense attorneys.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith Patton said the U.S. District Court in San Antonio granted a request by the defense for a continuation of the sentencing proceedings. A new date was set for Aug. 11.

The two, Chandler S. Bruton, an adjuster for Allstate, and Roland F. Villarreal, were charged in a 22-count indictment last year with insurance fraud conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering. Both men pleaded guilty in the case.
