PRINCE OF POT'S EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS DELAYED

Marc Emery's extradition proceedings have been postponed so
prosecutors can sift through a tower of documents "20 feet higher than
the Empire State Building" submitted by the Prince of Pot's defence
team.

Speaking at Friday's preliminary hearing, prosecutors estimated it
would take until January to analyze the documents submitted by those
fighting to prevent Emery from being extradited to the U.S. for
selling marijuana seeds over the Internet.

Defence lawyers for Emery, and co-accused Michelle Rainey-Fenkarek and
Greg Williams, said it was possible their clients would apply for legal aid.

Setting the next hearing date for Oct. 21, Associate Chief Justice
Patrick Dohm granted Emery permission to leave B.C. in the interim to
attend pot rallies at Montreal and Calgary.
