Judicial Extradition Hearing

(a)If the judge after hearing finds that the Governor has issued a warrant supported by the documentation required by § 140.30(a) and § 140.31, the judge shall issue an order to transfer custody pursuant to § 140.50 upon receipt of clear and convincing evidence that the arrested person is the demanded person.

(b)If the judge does not order transfer of custody, he shall order the arrested person to be released. If the agent of the demanded state has not taken custody within the time specified in the order to transfer custody, the demanded person must be released. Thereafter, an order to transfer custody may be entered only if a new arrest warrant is issued as a result of a new demand for extradition or a new request for rendition.

(c)An order to transfer custody is not appealable.

(d)An order denying transfer is appealable. ---------- ARTICLE 4 RENDITION
