Gebbie, 294 F.3d 540 (3rd Cir. 2002), which involved a situation like this one where the charges in the second prosecution were identical to the dismissed charges. In Gebbie, the defendants were charged in a multi-count indictment in the Southern District of Ohio charging them with various offenses related to a scheme to make false statements to the U.S. Postal Service. 294 F.3d at 542. As part of their plea agreement, the defendants pled guilty to misprision of a felony in exchange for dismissal of the counts in the indictment. Id. at 543. The plea agreement further provided that the agreement did not protect the defendants from prosecution for \"other crimes or offenses\" which \"the United States\" discovers by independent investigation. Id. at 545-46. A few months after entering their plea, the defendants were charged in the Western District of Pennsylvania with \"the same crimes and offenses that were at issue\" in the Ohio prosecution. Id. at 546 (emphasis in original).
