Adam Christopher Sheafe v. United States
HabeasCorpus
Whether the Interstate Agreement on Detainers applies when the State, in which the federal district sits, filed a detainer and the federal government obtained the Petitioner's presence pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, and whether the writ allowed the government to circumvent the obligations that the IAD imposes and violate the purpose of the IAD?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether the Interstate Agreement on Detainers applies when the State, in which the federal district sits, filed a detainer and the federal government obtained the Petitioner’s presence pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, and whether the writ allowed the government to circumvent the obligations that the IAD imposes and violate the purpose of the IAD? 2. Whether the District Court abused its discretion in holding that, if the Interstate Agreement on Detainers did apply, such agreement was not violated as good cause existed for three continuances beyond the 120-day deadline? ii
