Manta v. Chertoff, 9th Cir. Mar. 11, 2008
07-55353 Habeas Manta v. Chertoff
Before: Jerome Farris and Milan D. Smith, Jr., Circuit Judges, and H. Russel Holland,1 District Judge.
MILAN D. SMITH, JR., Circuit Judge: Petitioner-Appellant Christina Manta appeals the dismissal of her petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Since 1999, Greece has sought the extradition of Crystalla Kyriakidou pursuant to the Treaty of Extradition Between the United States of America and the Hellenic Republic (the Treaty). The United States filed a Complaint for Extradition against Kyriakidou, whom the government believes is the same person as Christina Manta. After an extradition hearing, a magistrate judge granted the request for extradition based on two foreign charges of fraud. Seeking relief from the extradition order, Manta petitioned the district court for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. We affirm the district court’s dismissal of Manta’s habeas petition. … Manta v. Chertoff.
- The Honorable H. Russel Holland, Senior United States District Judge for the District of Alaska, sitting by designation. [↩]
