United States Ninth Circuit

Denial of Korean citizen's habeas corpus petition challenging certification of his extradition to the Republic of Korea is affirmed in part as to a charge that defendant bribed an officer, but reversed in part as to another charge where there was no competent evidence to support a magistrate judge's finding of probable cause that defendant committed the particular acts "for which extradition [was] requested."
