🇺🇸 United States → 🇩🇪 Germany

The case concerned extradition proceedings under the U.S.–Germany extradition treaty, in which the defendant sought revocation of a detention order entered pending extradition. He argued that special circumstances justified release, relying on his medical condition, alleged delays in the extradition proceedings, and family responsibilities, and further maintained that he was not a flight risk. On de novo review, the District Court held that none of those factors amounted to special circumstances capable of overcoming the presumption against bail in extradition cases. Because no special circumstances were established, the Court denied the motion to revoke the detention order without reaching a final determination on flight risk or danger to the community.
