Answer
I 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.

The consenes of veronia school distric?
The Veronia School District decided that athletes were the school leaders. The students would follow their lead. The students would follow the athletes' example on drug usage. So, the school district decided to randomly test athletes for drugs. By getting athletes to stop using drugs, they could get the rest of the student body to stop using them. Since it was in Oregon, some liberal parents objected in Federal Court. The Federal Court sided with the school district. The ACLU appealed to the 9th Federal District Court in California. Anyone familiar with that court, would have predicted that a reversal would be automatic in a drug case. Sure enough it was. Next an the School District appealed to The United States Supreme Court. Of course, anyone familiar with the law knows what will happen when anyone appeals a 9th District Court of Appeals case to the US Supreme Court and the Supreme Court accepts it. Sure enough. The Supreme Court decided that the greater interest in keeping drugs out of the school overrode the 4th amendment right to privacy. Children at school were not adults at home.
