34255.
    HORNING v. HUTSON et al.
    Submitted November 17, 1978
    Decided February 9, 1979.
    
      J. Fred Ivester, L. S. Cobb, for appellant.
    
      Thomas J. Charron, District Attorney, for appellees.
   Nichols, Chief Justice.

Horning appeals from a judgment in his habeas proceeding finding the extradition papers in order and denying him discharge on any of the grounds asserted by him.

1. Detention for a period in excess of that permitted by Code Ann. § 44-415 provides a ground for discharge from jail or bail if the governor’s warrant has not been executed, but it does not provide a ground for avoiding extradition where the warrant has been executed. Stynchcombe v. Whitley, 240 Ga. 776 (242 SE2d 720) (1978).

2. None of the other grounds asserted by Horning provides a basis for avoiding extradition. Michigan v. Doran, — U. S. — (99 SC 530, 58 LE2d 521) (1978); Anderson v. State, 243 Ga. 216 (1979).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
