Opinion
WOODS, J.
In this habeas corpus proceeding, an escapee from prison in the State of Georgia, now residing in California, challenges an extradition order returning him to Georgia to serve the remaining term of a seven-year sentence imposed in 1972 for the crime of armed robbery.1 We conclude the writ should be denied in spite of petitioner’s assertions that extraordinary circumstances are present in this case which militate against extradition to the State of Georgia. For the reasons hereafter explained, we deny the writ of habeas corpus.
