You won't necessarily see a FL judge again unless you are also being arraigned on a FL offense. If you are being held solely on the extradition warrant you are being held on a LA warrant for a LA offense. You'll see the LA judge when you arrive back there.

∙ 11y ago(in the US) After arrest and before being presented for a preliminary hearing or arraignment - not more than 48 hours. Once indicted, or bound over for trial, "speedy trial" rules become effective and the timeframe becomes (usually) 90 days - UNLESS - the defendants attorney waives "speedy" and/or requests, or agrees to, a continuance.
