Washington - In the latest of legal scuffles, alleged Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk was given a reprieve Thursday until next week in his fight to stay in the United States instead of being deported to Germany to stand trial.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio asked justice officials for a medical report on the 89-year-old man, setting a deadline for April 23 for the information.
Demjanjuk's lawyer and family have argued that he is too frail and ill to stand trial in Germany.
Berlin - The German government hoped Wednesday for a swift decision on the fate of alleged Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk, hours after a last-minute US court ruling temporarily blocked his deportation to Germany.
A spokesman for the German justice ministry said Wednesday they were prepared for an imminent decision, although they had "no updated information" over the internal US deportation process, which he said Germany was not involved in.
Washington - A US federal appeals court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the deportation of an alleged Nazi death camp guard to Germany, where he faces war-crimes charges.

Washington - US federal agents took an accused Nazi war criminal into custody on Tuesday for his pending deportation to Germany on charges connected to his time as a guard at a concentration camp.

Washington - The US Board of Immigration Appeals ruled Friday that Nazi-era war-crimes suspect John Demjanjuk can be deported to Germany. The decision means that federal agents can pick him up at any time and send him to Germany, the Plain Dealer newspaper reported.
Demjanjuk, who turned 89 on April 3, had filed a last-minute court motion to stop his deportation, arguing that he was too ill to travel and stand trial. His bid to stay in the US was to avoid likely prosecution for his role in the killings of 29,000 Jews.
Berlin - Germany is expecting the United States to simply expel John Demjanjuk, 89, a stateless man accused of being an accessory to 29,000 Nazi death camp murders, without going through any extradition procedure, an official said in Berlin Wednesday.
A German news website, Spiegel Online, had earlier quoted Ulrich Busch, a German lawyer representing Demjanjuk, demanding that German formally apply for Demjanjuk's extradition from the United States.
