 15 suspect, make a charge against the suspect; and refer the suspect for
 16 prosecution; identified the exact location of the suspect so that the
 17 suspect could be taken into custody immediately; and encountered a
 18 circumstance outside the control of the law enforcement agency that

 22 after the suspect has been identified, or the denial of extradition
