Constitutional Law - Double Jeopardy - Juvenile Court Procedure - State Exceptions to Master\u27s Proposals

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that a Maryland juvenile rule that allows the state to file exceptions to a master\u27s proposed findings and recommendations with a juvenile judge does not violate the double jeopardy clause even though the juvenile judge is free to accept, reject, or modify the proposals or to supplement the record, since the master\u27s hearing and review by the judge constitutes a single proceeding.
