(2) Such meeting shall be scheduled and held in a timely manner and not be used to delay the proceedings.
(3) If prosecutor or another named party continues to object, then the case will not be referred.
(d) The parties recognize that referrals to the Healing to Wellness Court often function as a deferred sentencing program.
