       In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:

       Appellant Fisher Jones appeals from a denial of a habeas corpus
  petition to prevent his extradition to Colorado.  We affirm. 

       Appellant was served with a Governor's warrant on August 7, 1995. 
  Appellant filed a habeas corpus petition on September 26, 1995, and the
  court held a hearing on the petition on the following day.  Attached to the
  Governor's warrant was an Affidavit for Arrest Warrant in which the
  ex-girlfriend of appellant states that she had been assaulted by the
  appellant in a liquor store parking lot in Boulder, Colorado.  Also
  attached to the Governor's warrant were a fingerprint card and a photograph
  of appellant.  The fingerprint card included the name of appellant, his
  date of birth, height, weight, and race. 

       Appellant argues that the Colorado governor's demand for extradition
  failed to meet the statutory requirements of 13 V.S.A. § 4943 because it
  did not show that appellant was in Colorado at the time of the alleged
  offense.  Appellant relies on our decision in Lovejoy v. State, 148 Vt.
