United States v. Pearson , 876 F. Supp. 1183 ( 1994 )

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.
