none of these other cases stand squarely for this proposition. For example, the unpublished decision of the Fourth Circuit in United States v. Lopez, 1998 WL 476788 (4th Cir.1998), holds that "The Defendants' involvement in the conspiracy ... ended with their arrest and conviction.” Id. (emphasis supplied). While the Michigan decision does rely on Fifth Circuit precedent in "noting” the defendants’ part in the conspiracy ended when they were arrested, the issue in that case was whether the government could invoke an exception to the Double Jeopardy bar which allows the state to prosecute a greater crime following a conviction for a lesser included offense where the state learned of additional facts after the first conviction. People v. Wilson, 454 Mich. 421, 563 N.W.2d 44 (1997) (<HOLDING>). 2 . Petitioner has no valid Double Jeopardy
