ORDER

DAVID R. HERNDON, District Judge.

Now before the Court is the government's motion to quash the summons and ordering the Clerk of Court to issue an arrest warrant (Doc. 5). An indictment was filed December 18, 2014 charging the defendant with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and two counts of mail fraud. A summons was subsequently issued as directed by the criminal case cover sheet. (Doc. 4). The government states that an arrest warrant is needed instead of a summons because the defendant is a foreign citizen who resides in Brunn am Gebirge, Austria. As a result the warrant must be entered in the NCIC system to allow Austrian law enforcement to arrest and extradite the defendant to the United States to answer to the charges alleged in the indictment.

The Court hereby GRANTS the government's motion to quash the summons and ORDERS the Clerk of the Court to issue an arrest warrant. Digitally signed

IT IS SO ORDERED.
