Judicial Rendition Hearing

(a)If the judge after hearing finds that § 140.40 and § 140.41 have been complied with, he shall issue an order to transfer custody pursuant to § 140.50 upon clear and convincing evidence that the arrested person is the requested person.

(b)If the judge does not order transfer of custody, he shall order the requested person to be released. If the agent of the requesting state has not taken custody within the time specified in the order to transfer custody, the requested 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 by extradition or a new request for rendition.

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

(d)An order denying transfer is appealable. ---------ARTICLE 5 MISCELLANEOUS
