MOORE, District Judge.

This matter comes on petitioner Evan Jay Joseph's ["Joseph"] writ of habeas corpus challenging the magistrate judge's December 12, 2002 certification of the British Virgin Islands' [BVI] extradition request and order that petitioner be detained until his extradition. The United States opposes petitioner's writ. For the reasons set forth below, I will affirm the magistrate judge's order.
