Description
Appellant Melvin Bell appeals from the dismissal by the district court of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. We affirm the district court. Appellant was sentenced in federal court in Wyoming for violation of the Mann Act. While confined in the Laramie County Jail in Cheyenne, Wyoming, pending transfer to federal prison, and without the benefit of extradition proceedings, he was removed from the Wyoming jail by U.S. Marshalls and turned over to officers of the Weld County, Colorado, sheriff's department. He was then brought to Weld County and charged with first-degree sexual assault. After trial, he was convicted of second-degree sexual assault. Appellant petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, contending that his Colorado conviction is invalid because he was unlawfully removed from Wyoming by the Weld County sheriff. We do not agree.
