Jackson v. Clements

Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Extradition
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 15-1145
Decision Date: 
August 12, 2015
Federal District: 
E.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Vacated and remanded
Dist. Ct. lacked jurisdiction to act on defendant’s habeas petition under section 2241 that challenged his extradition to Wisconsin. At time Dist. Ct. denied said petition, defendant was no longer pre-trial detainee for purposes of section 2241, because he had already been convicted of identity theft offense that formed basis of extradition. As such, defendant’s claims regarding his pre-trial confinement were moot.
