Quoting from the document:
I. THE ROLE OF THE EXTRADITION JUDGE IS LIMITED
Extradition is primarily an executive responsibility with a specially defined role for a judicial officer, who is authorized by statute to determine whether to certify to the Secretary of State that the submitted evidence is sufficient to sustain the charge. 18 U.S.C. 3184. The Secretary of State, and not the court, makes the decision regarding whether the fugitive should be surrendered to the requesting country.
