State v. N; Judge: Ronald Ficarrota; Date: January 3, 2008

FACTS: Our client was being held in Federal Prison awaiting extradition to Tampa, Florida. The case was initially prosecuted in March of 1999. Our client was arrested, and failed to appear at his arraignment. When he was convicted out-of-state the old warrant from Tampa held up his sentencing in Federal Court. We initially filed a motion to dismiss the warrant, and the charges based on Statute of Limitation grounds.

DEFENSE: Further investigation into the case revealed that the State would not be able to effectively prosecute.

RESULT: The Client was never extradited to Tampa, and his charges were dismissed.
