The State successfully petitioned¹ the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. 472 U.S. 1007" court="SCOTUS" date_filed="1985-06-10" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/dow-chemical-co-v-united-states-ex-rel-administrator-environmental-protection-agency-9047828?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="9047828">472 U.S. 1007, 105 S.

The Supreme Court, in reversing the judgment of this Court (on the State’s motion for rehearing), held that under the facts of this case, there was no presumption of vindictiveness. Consequently, in this case, the North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711" court="SCOTUS" date_filed="1969-06-23" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/north-carolina-v-pearce-107978?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="107978">395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969), presumption was inappropriate. 475 U.S. -, 106 S.
