Perhaps someone should contact the LE handling the extradition for NC. Maybe LA can lend them a hand and avoid some delay.

Third Fugitive Returned from
Mexico to Face Murder Charge
May 15, 2007
..........snip..........
Cooley said the Los Angeles County D.A.’s office is entering a new era in the extradition process. The experience gained in successfully extraditing fugitives from Mexico is now being shared with many other law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies around California and the nation.
“We’re providing training to law enforcement agencies all over the United States on how to locate and bring suspects back to the Unites States to stand trial,” he said. “Our patience and persistence in working through the challenges presented by the Mexican Supreme Court have paid off for the families of victims awaiting justice in Los Angeles and elsewhere.

Prosecutors filed one count of murder and three counts of attempted murder against Jara, an admitted Dogtown gang member, about a week after the shooting. The defendant fled to Mexico.
Although he is a U.S. citizen, Mexican authorities twice refused to deport Jara in 2001 and again in 2004.
But after the Mexican Supreme Court reversed an earlier decision and ruled on Nov. 29, 2005 that criminal suspects facing life in prison sentences abroad can be extradited from Mexico for prosecution, the Los Angeles County D.A.’s office has aggressively sought to extradite murder suspects to back Los Angeles to stand trial.
