I don't know if that's an uncommon thing or not. And would it be uncustomary for another state/jurisdiction to refuse such a request/order?
Other States refuse all the time. Lack of funding, lack of man power, just not interested, you name it. They have enough of their own, usually too many in most States. This State is so far behind and overloaded that most cases get continued several times before the contact and paperwork can even begin. (And who would be willing to take on the Princess and baggage?)
ETA: Sometimes they accept them too, didn't want to leave the impression that the only answer is no way.
