United States Third Circuit

In a case involving the incarceration of a parent who violated terms of a Parenting Agreement for failure to return her child from abroad, denial and dismissal with prejudice of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to end detention is affirmed over claims that the district court erred in: 1) finding the Spanish courts departed from the mandate of the Hague Convention's Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; and 2) failing to afford comity to the decisions of the Spanish courts.
