In the 1983 case Florida v. Meyers, also known as Weyers, the Supreme Court of the United States addressed a dispute over jurisdiction and extradition between states. The respondent, Robert Meyers (also known as Weyers), was wanted in Florida for violating his parole but had fled to California. When Florida requested that he be extradited back to face charges, Meyers contested this on grounds that he was not actually present in Florida at the time of his alleged crime - a requirement under interstate extradition laws. However, it was determined by both lower courts and ultimately affirmed by the Supreme Court that because Meyer's original offense (for which he received probation) occurred within state lines and his subsequent violation of parole conditions constituted an extension of this initial crime; therefore it could be said with legal certainty that he "fled from justice" in accordance with existing statutes governing such matters.
The dissenting opinion in the case of Florida v. Meyers, also known as Weyers, 1983 is not readily available from public legal databases or Supreme Court records. This could be due to several reasons such as the case being less prominent, it may not have reached the U.S. Supreme Court level or there might be a lack of digitized records for this particular year and case name combination. It's recommended to consult more specialized legal databases or contact a law library for further information on this specific dissenting opinion.
