officials. Pursuant to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (“IADA”), Defendant’s appearance
before this court for his initial appearance and arraignment was secured by a writ of habeas corpus
ad prosequendum.

proceedings in this case initiated by the United States (the “receiving state” under the IADA). He
also executed an "[IADA] Anti-Shuttling Waiver Stipulation." (Doc. No. 23).
