(Penal Code Section 1334.4.)
Therefore, it is requested that this Court issue a Certificate under seal of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles in order that it may be presented to the proper Court in the State of Missouri for the purpose compelling the attendance of MARCUS ALLEN at the trial of the above-entitled cause.
I DECLARE under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
