# Sentencing
Presentence procedure, Guidelines, statutory sentencing, monetary penalties, forfeiture, judgment, and initial supervision.
This page is a verified navigation layer. The linked canonical modules, atomic claims, authority cards, and structured controls remain the legal source; this index does not create a rule from omission or shorthand.

## Stage use controls
- Start with the actual docket posture and controlling court, not the desired remedy.
- Calculate every deadline from its stated triggering event and current computation rule.
- Separate jurisdiction, venue, prerequisites, merits, burden, proof, remedy, review, and appealability.
- Use the circuit overlay for any circuit-sensitive proposition and stop at records marked `not_verified`.
- Preserve the operative filings, orders, transcripts, exhibits, agency record, and proof of filing or service.
## Handoff to adjacent stages
Use the [federal process decision trees](https://jason93.com/legal/federal-process/modules/decision-trees.md) to identify prerequisites, alternative vehicles, appellate routes, and postjudgment interactions. Generated diagrams are navigation aids only; linked canonical modules control.
