Text: 15 On June 14, 2005 Avans filed a notice of appeal. The next day, the District Court ordered her to comply with its order on the merits by purchasing an airline ticket to Argentina for Arianna no later than June 17, 2005. On June 16, 2005 we granted an emergency stay of this order pending review and disposal of Avans' appeal. In light of the stay, Arianna remains in the United States. 16 On July 22, 2005 Avans moved the District Court to supplement the record on appeal with recently uncovered evidence pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(e)(2). This evidence included: (1) documents establishing that Avans succeeded in obtaining a permanent restraining order against Adan in New Jersey on June 28, 2005 due to Adan's repeated violations of the temporary restraining order; (2) an e-mail from Adan to Avans dated January 27, 2004, in which he tells her when I see you I think I will rape you totally; and (3) a message dated March 5, 2004, in which Adan tells Avans now that my mind is clear from drugs and from alcohol I can realize all the time I lost and all the damages I caused you, (and [Arianna]). The District Court denied this motion on August 9, 2005. 3 Avans also brings to our attention that the Argentine criminal court dropped the extradition request against her in August 2005 on condition that she voluntarily appear in Argentina to respond to the kidnaping charges. 17 On appeal, Avans asserts that the District Court erred in finding that the Convention required Arianna's return to Argentina. For the reasons that follow, we vacate the District Court's June 7, 2005 order and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
