PER CURIAM.

In United States v. Kehoe, 573 F.2d 335" court="5th Cir." date_filed="1978-05-22" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/united-states-v-cornelius-j-kehoe-and-ray-k-bullock-354257?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="354257">573 F.2d 335 (5th Cir. 1978), we reviewed several alleged errors including defendants' claim that their conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 657 violated double jeopardy. While rejecting the defendants' other contentions, we relied on United States v. Jenkins, 420 U.S. 358" court="SCOTUS" date_filed="1975-02-25" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/united-states-v-jenkins-109201?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="109201">420 U.S. 358, 95 S.Ct. 1006, 43 L.Ed.2d 250 (1975) to hold that the § 657 conviction abridged the Double Jeopardy Clause. Subsequently, the Supreme Court expressly overruled Jenkins in United States v. Scott, --- U.S. ----, 98 S. Ct. 2187" court="SCOTUS" date_filed="1978-10-02" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/united-states-v-scott-109895?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="109895">98 S.Ct. 2187, 57 L.Ed.2d 65 (1978). The portion of our opinion relying on Jenkins, 573 F.2d 335" court="5th Cir." date_filed="1978-05-22" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/united-states-v-cornelius-j-kehoe-and-ray-k-bullock-354257?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="354257">573 F.2d at 340-346, must be vacated in light of Scott. We now hold that the defendants' conviction did not violate double jeopardy and we therefore affirm the judgment of the district court.
