Notice of Filing of Formal Extradition Papers 

and Second Request for Extradition

The United States of America gives notice through this pleading that it is filing the

attached formal extradition papers and the Mexican Government’s additional request for

extradition. In support of this filing the United States further submits:

1. The fugitive, Maria del Rosario Moreno-Vazquez, a/k/a Maria Coonley, was

arrested pursuant to an arrest warrant issued on December 16, 2005, by United States

Magistrate Judge Delores R. Boyd. She was then brought before Chief United States

Magistrate Judge Charles S. Coody for an initial appearance to be extradicted on a charge of

trafficking of children. 

2. On August 18, 2006, both parties to this proceeding appeared before Judge

Coody for a status conference. At that hearing, the United States informed the Court that the

United States would soon receive a second extradition request. This second extradition

request concerns a new Mexican charge – forgery of a public document. 

3. The United States has received the second request and hereby (1) files a

redacted and reduced electronic copy of the formal extradition papers (with seals and

ribbons) in this matter, and (2) renews its request for the extradition of the fugitive to

Mexico. The originals of these materials will be hand filed with the Clerk’s office today.

A copy of these amended charges without redaction has been provided to defense counsel

via regular U.S. mail. 

4. Ms. Moreno-Vazquez is now entitled to a second initial appearance on these

new charges. In lieu of the issuance of an arrest warrant, the United States has conferred

with Mr. Bruner and has no objection to Ms. Moreno-Vazquez’s voluntary appearance at this

hearing. 

5. Additionally, it is both parties’ desire to have a scheduling order set for this

case. The parties suggest that an extradition hearing be set for no later than sixty days from

the date of Ms. Moreno-Vazquez’s second initial appearance. 

Respectfully submitted this 25th day of September, 2006.
