of release); United States v. Salvagno, 314 F. Supp. 2d 115, 119 (N.D.N.-Y. 2004) (ordering each
of two defendants to “execute and file with the Clerk of the Court a waiver of extradition
applicable to any nation or foreign territory in which he may be found as a condition of his

(requiring Israeli citizen who lived in South Africa and had “no ties to the United States” to sign

to do so. Both have concluded that it is highly unlikely that she would be able to resist
extradition successfully.
