Hobson arraignment postponed again &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The arraignment of Red Barons manager Butch Hobson has been delayed for the
second time this month, and he won't be appearing today in Rhode Island &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Superior Court, his lawyer said WednesdayAttorney Steve Famiglietti said
the court proceedings scheduled for today have been postponed indefinitely.
The lawyer is hopeful there will be no arraignment for his client. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Hobson, who managed the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons to a 13-14 record
earlier this year, was arrested May 4 on charges of possessing 2 grams of
cocaine delivered through the mail in Pawtucket, R.I. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He has been on a paid leave of absence from the team since May 6, and
waiting at his home in Fairhope, Ala., for the matter to be settled. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "The bottom line is, we're still in the process of trying to work something
out," Famiglietti said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The prosecution and defense in the case have had little discussion about it
since the original arraignment date of July 10 was delayed until today. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 But because of more pressing court cases involving Famiglietti and
prosecuting attorney Paul Daly, Hobson's case has been secondary to both
parties. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "The fellow on the other end has been very busy," Famiglietti said of Daly.
"It's postponed indefinitely." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Famiglietti spent most of Wednesday in federal court with an unrelated
case. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The two sides will set a new arraignment date for Hobson when they find
time to discuss the matter further. That could come as soon as today,
Famiglietti said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
