ANNOTATION
Documents authorizing transport and delivery cure defective warrant. The warrant of the governor of Colorado accompanied by a document authorizing the agent to transport defendant, and another document ordering his delivery into the custody of agent, amply compensate for the clerical error in failing to fill in the two blank spaces in the initial warrant. Harding v. People, 161 Colo. 571, 423 P.2d 847 (1967).
Identity between name in extradition documents and name in governor's warrant establishes a prima facie case that the person charged as a fugitive is indeed the fugitive sought by the demanding state. Richardson v. Cronin, 621 P.2d 949 (Colo. 1980); Council v. MacFarlane, 709 P.2d 947 (Colo. 1985).
Applied in People v. Wimer, 43 Colo. App. 237, 604 P.2d 1183 (1979).
