United States v. Pearson

District Court, D. Oregon
United States v. Pearson, 876 F. Supp. 1183 (1994)
1994 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20190

United States v. Pearson

Opinion of the Court

OPINION AND ORDER

ROBERT E. JONES, District Judge:

The court has received defendant’s motion to vacate the sentence with supporting memorandum. '

The defendant’s motion is denied. This court has recently ruled that a state forfeiture that precedes a criminal prosecution does not constitute double jeopardy barring the federal criminal prosecution (see attached opinions in United States v. Martin Hobart Stanwoodi 872 F.Supp. 791 (D.Or. 1994); and United States v. Ronald Lynn Branum, 872 F.Supp. 801 (D.Or. 1994)).

The defendant presents no special circumstances that would bring her under an exception to the dual sovereignty rule.
