How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that the defendant did not demonstrate he was not a flight risk despite having “no financial assets”
  • noting that bail in extradition eases is governed by federal common law
  • declining to find that the defendant’s health conditions rose to a level that justified releasing him on bail, even though he had back surgery, needed therapy “for the surgery to work,” had a growth on his neck, and was in danger of losing movement in his left leg
  • “The case law also reflects an inconsistency among courts in their analysis of flight risk in relation to the ‘special circumstances’ inquiry.”
  • “[W]hat constitutes special circumstances is anything but clear.”
