What is the meaning when a case previously decided by a District Court is certified by the Court of Appeals to the US District Court again?
AnswerI believe you are referring to a Writ of Certiorari. This is the name of a writ issued from a superior court directed to one of inferior jurisdiction, commanding the latter to certify and return to the former the record in the particular case.Another Answer:Writ of certiorari is not the proper term. A "remand" or perhaps "mandate" is the proper term. The writ of certiorari is the formal document used when the US Supreme Court agrees to take a case FROM the Circuit Court of Appeals. It has no bearing when a Court of Appeals sends a case back TO the District Court.An appellate court sometimes reverses a District Court decision and sends it back (remands) for further action consistent with the ruling of the appellate court. The formal term for all Court of Appeals decisions is a "mandate" (as opposed to "judgment" in the District Courts) according to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 41. This term applies to all Circuit Court of Appeals decisions whether they affirm, reverse or reverse and remand the District Court action.The term "certified" is inappropriate in this sense, because the appellate court does not "certify" anything. It mandates what the District Court is to do when it gets the case back.
