Supreme Court rules against Michigan on extradition power
The Supreme Court unanimously held state courts lack authority to block extradition decisions by governors. The ruling voids Michigan’s attempt to halt the transfer of Harold I. Doran, charged with theft in East Phoenix in 1975, who will be sent to Arizona. The decision also clarifies that federal law prevails on interstate banking interest rates, upholding the National Bank Act over state limits.
