   A sentence on a plea of guilty or nolo contendere may be imposed by a judge other than the judge who received the plea, if the defendant has been notified of the possibility at the time of entering the plea.

   Comment: This rule is not intended to proscribe sentencing by a judge who did not receive the plea when there are extraordinary circumstances which preclude the presence of that judge.
