Return a case to a lower court?
An appellate court can return a case to a lower court by issuing a remand order. This generally occurs when the appellate court determines that the lower court made errors that require further proceedings or reconsideration. The remand allows the lower court to address the issues identified by the appellate court and potentially correct any errors in the initial decision.
What does it mean when a case is reversed and remanded case remanded for resentencing otherwise affirmed?
It looks like the decision of an appeal court. It's too bad that the question is not posed clearly. An appeal court reverses a decision when it changes the decision that is being appealed from. An appeal court affirms a decision when it decides not to change it. A matter before the courts is "remanded" when it is put over to another day. The word "remanded" is particularly used in criminal matters especially where the accused person is in custody. My guess is that the story goes something like this: A person has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term in jail. While he is serving his sentence, his lawyer has launched an appeal both against the conviction and against the sentence, stating that the jail term was too long. The appeal court has rejected the appeal against conviction but has accepted the appeal against sentence. The sentence "is reversed" and the prisoner remanded in custody until the lower court can impose a more appropriate sentence, "resentencing". However, the conviction stands; it is "otherwise affirmed".
What is the decision to send a case back to a lower court?
When an appellate court returns a case to a lower court for further action, it is remanded. This does not represent the entirety of the decision, however; the court may also reverse, vacate, affirm in part and reverse in part, etc. The reason the case is remanded and the expected action to be taken are also included in the decision.

What does disposition of appeal mean?
The disposition of an appeal is the judge's final ruling in the case, or what he decides to do to it. The three most common dispositions are: Affirmed, in which the judge agrees with the lower court and the original ruling stands, Reversed, in which the judge disagrees with the lower court and invalidates that opinion, and Remanded, in which the judge sends the case down to a lower court for further action. Cases are often both reversed and remanded.
