Rockefeller waives extradition in Md.

BALTIMORE (AP) - A father accused of abducting his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit in Boston has waived his right to a governor's warrant and will be extradited from Baltimore to Massachusetts.

Court officials say 48-year-old Clark Rockefeller signed the waiver before a hearing Monday on a fugitive warrant charging him with abduction of a minor child. He faces no charges in Maryland, where he was arrested Saturday.

Baltimore District Court Associate Judge Norman Braverman set an Aug. 15 date for a status hearing. Authorities from Massachusetts have 30 days to retrieve Rockefeller from Maryland.

During his court appearance, Rockefeller was dressed in a blue polo shirt and khakis and wore handcuffs and leg irons. He did not speak and was not represented by an attorney.
