BETWEEN

The Minister of Justice for Canada

Respondent

and

Donovan Dwight Scott aka Duvaogh Lee Brown

Applicant

James A. Brown, for the applicant

Monika K. Rahman, for the respondent

Heard: April 26, 2013

On application for judicial review of the surrender order
    of the Minister of Justice, dated June 20, 2012.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The applicant has not shown that the Ministers decision was
    unreasonable. The applicant alleged that he faced a serious risk of torture if
    returned to Arkansas. The applicant presented no evidence to the Minister to
    show that he was at a serious risk as a result of the use of solitary
    confinement or the potential of sexual assault. The material provided by the
    Arkansas Department of Corrections was a basis, in the absence of anything
    else, for the Ministers opinion to decide to extradite without assurances.

[2]

Accordingly, the application is dismissed.
