US fugitive Nicholas Rossi refused to leave prison to attend his extradition hearing - but the case was adjourned for nearly four months despite the no-show.
Ross, 35, is fighting a bid to return him to the United States to face a number of charges, including rape, and was supposed to attend in person.
A week-long hearing was due to begin on Monday, but Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told Rossi “refused to get in the prison van”.
