United States First Circuit

In a suit seeking habeas corpus relief under 28 USC section 2241 for alleged violations of the extradition treaty under which the prisoner was brought to the United States, the government's motion for summary disposition is allowed and the district court's judgment denying relief is affirmed, where: 1) the petitioner had twice sought habeas relief under 28 USC section 2255, without success; and 2) the petitioner could not circumvent the limits on multiple section 2255 petitions by resorting to section 2241 to assert a treaty claim that could as easily have been advanced in his original section 2255 petition.
