Form of demand.

No demand for the extradition of a person charged with crime in another state shall be recognized by the Governor unless it is:

1. In writing alleging, except in cases arising under NRS 179.189 , that the accused was present in the demanding state at the time of the commission of the alleged crime, and that thereafter the accused fled from the state; and

2. Accompanied by a copy of an indictment found or by information supported by affidavit in the state having jurisdiction of the crime, or by a copy of an affidavit made before a magistrate there, together with a copy of any warrant which was issued thereupon; or

3. Accompanied by a copy of a judgment of conviction or of a sentence imposed in execution thereof, together with a statement by the executive authority of the demanding state that the person claimed has escaped from confinement or has broken the terms of the person’s bail, probation or parole.

Ê The indictment, information or affidavit made before the magistrate must substantially charge the person demanded with having committed a crime under the law of that state; and the copy of indictment, information, affidavit, judgment of conviction or sentence must be authenticated by the executive authority making the demand.
