O R D E R 
 
This 15th day of August 2006, after careful consideration of Ronald 
Johnson’s opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that 
the judgment of the Superior Court denying Johnson’s petition for a writ of habeas 
corpus should be affirmed on the basis that Johnson’s detention by federal 
authorities cannot be remedied by a writ of habeas corpus under 10 Del. C. § 
6902(3).  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
