If no sufficient cause is alleged or appears to the court at
the time fixed for pronouncing judgment, as provided in Section 1191,
why judgment should not be pronounced, it shall thereupon be
rendered; and if not rendered or pronounced within the time so fixed
or to which it is continued under the provisions of Section 1191,
then the defendant shall be entitled to a new trial.  If the court
shall refuse to hear a defendant's motion for a new trial or when
made shall neglect to determine such motion before pronouncing
judgment or the making of an order granting probation, then the
defendant shall be entitled to a new trial.
