I think that it would be best for you to speak with an criminal attorney - I am hoping that you have been appointed one in this process - in Colorado on the matter. What I can tell from the generality of your question is that the demanding state - the one that started the extradition proceeding s to move you from the state in which you are presently physically in - is withdrawing their petition to remove you to their state. Now, there may be many reasons that they are doing this. Once cold be that an agreement is in place wherein you agreed to sign the waiver and the withdrawl is based upon that. I do not know. They "whys" and "what happens next" are case specific. Get help.
