Following legal hearings in the UK it was decided in July 2006 that he should be to extradited to the US. In February 2007 his lawyers argued against the ruling in an appeal to the High Court in London,which was turned down on April 3. On July 31, 2007 the House of Lords agreed to hear the appeal and on June 17, 2008 the Law Lords began hearing the case.This Judgement was delivered on July 30, 2008 with the Law Lords judging that Gary McKinnon could be extradited to the United States. He was given two weeks to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights before extradition, but the Court halted the extradition for an additional two weeks to allow time to hear his appeal on August 28, which was subsequently rejected. His legal team subsequently decided to lodge another appeal based on the fact that Mr. McKinnon has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. In November 2008, a total of 20 British MPs signed an Early Day Motion calling for any custodial sentence imposed by an American court to be served in a prison in the UK.
