United States Fourth Circuit
Pethtel v. Ballard, 09-6075
In a defendant's request for habeas relief from his convictions for sexual assault, filming a minor, burglary, and other various crimes, claiming that the 'anti-shuttling' provision of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (IADA) was violated when he was transferred to West Virginia and then back to Ohio, before his West Virginia case was finished, district court's denial of the petition is affirmed as a violation of the trial before return provision of the IADA is not cognizable on habeas review and defendant has waived his due process claim.
