The order, which was filed in the case on July 25th, states: "the court concludes that Beresford Redman is extraditable for the offense which has been requested, and hereby certifies this finding to the United States Secretary of State as required...it is therefore ordered that a certified copy of this certification of extraditbility and order of commitment and a certified copy of other records and transcript of these proceedings be forwarded without delay by the clerk of the court to the Secretary of State, Department of State, to the attention of the Office of the Legal Adviser."

Bruce has been charged with aggravated homicide in the State of Quintana Roo, in Mexico. The extradition papers allege that "(Bruce) Beresford-Redman had an affair with a co-worker for several months in at least 2009. He lied to the victim about it for months. The victim learned of Beresford Redman's infidelity when she discovered text messages between Beresford Redman and the co-worker."

The producer's lawyers have said they plan to appeal Judge Jacqueline Chooljian's decision, and that process could take about a year. However, legal experts concede that it's inevitable that Beresford-Redman will be extradited back to Mexico.
