Description
Appeal from an order of the district court denying post-conviction relief. On January 12, 1970, defendant pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated robbery in violation of Minn. St. 609.245 and was
subsequently sentenced to 15 years in State Prison at Stillwater. On April 10, 1970, the State of Oregon, pursuant to the
Interstate Agreement on Detainers, Minn. St. 629.294 and Ore. Rev. Stat. § 134.605, requested temporary custody in order that
defendant might be tried on a charge of robbery. When defendant learned of Oregon's request, he made a request to the prison
authorities for proceedings under the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act 1 rather than under the Interstate Agreement. Defendant's
request was not granted, and on April 27, 1970, pursuant to procedures outlined in the Interstate Agreement, he petitioned
Governor Harold LeVander, asking that Oregon's request for custody be denied or that he be afforded extradition proceedings
on the grounds that he was not in Oregon at the time of the alleged offense. Although defendant contends that witnesses could
verify his contention, he at no time presented any affidavits or testimony to that effect. Governor LeVander approved Oregon's
request on May 15, 1970, and on May 20 Oregon took custody. Following his conviction by an Oregon jury, he was sentenced to
18 years in prison and was then returned to Minnesota.
