How later courts describe this case

  • declining to adopt Grady test in RICO context and limiting its application to “offenses arising from a single discrete event”
  • “a federal sentence does not begin to run until the defendant is delivered to the place where the sentence is to be served”
  • "we believe that the appellants' primary contention is that the relationship plus continuity test for a pattern of racketeering under RICO is unconstitutionally vague.... Thus H.J. Inc. is more pertinent than Fort Wayne Books to our discussion."
  • “The double jeopardy analysis in ... Grady ... cannot easily be transposed to the RICO context____ Instead, we consider the double jeopardy problem posed by the successive prosecutions [in a RICO case] to be more closely analogous to that in [Garrett ]____”
