The Case

Where co-conspirators were the subject of separate extradition requests, but the committal hearing was conjoined and the committal charges related to conspiracies to which all the co-conspirators were said to have been parties, there was no reason why the district judge should have been inhibited from relying on authenticated material in one of the co-conspirator's file to prove identification in the case of one of the other co-conspirators.
