United States Ninth Circuit

Denial of habeas petition challenging a magistrate judge's order certifying him for extradition to South Korea for prosecution for murder is affirmed where petitioner's extradition violates neither: 1) a 1998 extradition treaty's time-of-lapse provision; nor 2) the double-jeopardy provision of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) governing American military personnel, and their dependents, in South Korea.
