The brother and sister-in-law of Berkeley landlord Lakireddy Bali Reddy, sentenced to eight years in prison last year for transporting minors to the United States for illegal sexual activity, will not be sentenced on immigration chages until March 25. 

According to court officials, lawyers on both sides of the case filed stipulations calling for the delay in sentencing, which was supposed to take place Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court in Oakland. 

The landlord’s brother, Jayaprakash Lakireddy, and his wife, Annapurna Lakireddy, plead guilty to conspiring to bring illegal immigrants from India to the United States last March.
