A court in Mexico has granted a request filed by El Chapo's lawyers to suspend the order of detention for purposes of extradition entered Wednesday. (Use google translate). The request for a writ of amparo against the detention order was filed Wednesday in the Fifth District court handling Amparo matters, the same day the judge in the Third District Court handling criminal matters granted the request for the detention order.

I think this means he can still be arrested, but he can't be extradited until he has an opportunity to present his defenses against extradition. [More...]

For anyone who understands Spanish (I can't understand it, even with Google Translate), here is the court docket for the case, 712/2015.

EN 29/07/2015, SE DESECHA PARCIALMENTE LA DEMANDA DE GARANTÍAS Y SE CONCEDE LA SUSPENSIÓN DE PLANO RESPECTO DEL ACTO RECLAMADO CONSISTENTE EN LA ORDEN DE EXTRADICIÓN.

In the list of "accuerdos", it says:

Núm. de Expediente: 712/2015
Fecha del Acuerdo: 30/07/2015

Síntesis: AGRÉGUESE A LOS AUTOS PARA QUE OBRE COMO CORRESPONDA LA RAZÓN ACTUARIAL EN LA QUE SE HACE CONSTAR QUE NO FUE POSIBLE NOTIFICAR EL OFICIO DIRIGIDO A LA AUTORIDADS MENCIONADA EN ESTE PROVEÍDO, POR LA RAZONES EXPUESTAS EN LA MISMA; EN CONSECUENCIA, EN ATENCIÓN AL PROVEÍDO DE VEINTINUEVE DE JULIO DE DOS MIL QUINCE, TÉNGASE POR INEXISTENTE (S) A LA (S) AUTORIDAD (ES) ANTES CITADA (S), SUSPENDIÉNDOSE TODA COMUNICACIÓN CON ELLA (S).

for El Chapo.

This means that he is afraid that the Gringos know where he is and that the Gringos were just getting their legal ducks in a row before moving in on him.

He's going to have to move now and change lawyers and every time he does he makes himself vulnerable.

Cat and mouse --
