Description

SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge: This is a proceeding brought by the United States on behalf of the United Kingdom to extradite James J. Smyth to Northern Ireland. Smyth was convicted of the attempted murder of a prison officer in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1978 and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. He escaped from the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland in September of 1983 and arrived in San Francisco several months later. The United States, at the request of the United Kingdom, seeks Smyth's extradition to Northern Ireland to serve the remainder of his prison term. Extradition is sought pursuant to the United States - United Kingdom Extradition Treaty, June 8, 1972, U.S. - U.K., 28 U.S.T. 227, and the Supplementary Extradition Treaty, June 25, 1985, U.S. - U.K., art. 3(a), reprinted in S. Exec. Rep. No. 17, 99th Cong., 2nd Sess. 15-17 (1986)(Supplementary Treaty).
