142904P.pdf   07/31/2015  United States  v.  Frantz Pierre
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2904
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and White, District Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's conviction in Florida district court on a charge that he conspired to defraud the United States under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 286 did not present a Double Jeopardy bar to this Minnesota prosecution on a charge of conspiring to defraud the United States as the Florida case did not encompass either the same conspiracy charged here or the money laundering offense charged in the Minnesota indictment; the conspiracies involved different co-conspirators, occurred at different times, used distinct methodologies and were focused in different states; the substantive count of money laundering also does not place defendant in jeopardy twice as no money laundering was charged in the Florida case; the district court did not abuse its discretion by deciding this double jeopardy issue without a hearing.
