Skaftouros v. United States, ___ F.3d ___, 2011 WL 6355163 (2d Cir. Dec. 20, 2011) (district courts considering habeas petitions stemming from extradition orders should not engage in an analysis of the demanding country's laws and procedure, except to the limited extent necessary to ensure that the requirements of the applicable extradition treaty have been satisfied, and it was therefore error for the district court to conclude that the petitioner was being held unlawfully due to the Government's failure to prove that a Greek arrest warrant was valid as a matter of Greek law and that the applicable Greek statute of limitations had not expired); distinguishing Sacirbey v. Guccione, 589 F.3d 52 (2d Cir.2009).
