ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The central Florida man charged with starting the massive Palisades Fire will soon be taken back to California. <\/p>\n

Federal court documents that Jonathan Rinderknecht has been ordered to appear in the central district of California. <\/p>\n

He originally had a hearing scheduled in Orlando Friday, but attorneys have requested its cancelation.<\/p>\n

Rinderknecht, 29, was arrested last week near his home in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

He has been indicted<\/a> on charges including property destruction by fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce, and timber set afire.<\/p>\n

The fire led to the deaths of 12 people and was one of the most destructive in Los Angeles history, burning more than 23,000 acres and destroying nearly 7,000 structures.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear when he will leave Florida.<\/p>\n
