On February 12, I granted the joint motion of the parties to remand these thirteen cases to the Board to allow it to consider the parties' motion to vacate the orders on the basis of a settlement that the parties have reached (a "one judge" motion, Fed. R.App. P. 27(c); 7th Cir. Oper. Proc. 1(a)(1)). Included in the joint motion was a request that this court retain jurisdiction over the cases pending action by the Board. I granted this part of the motion, too, but with the notation that an opinion would follow explaining the basis of our power to order a remand limited in this way, that is, a remand that does not return the entire case to the Board. This is that opinion.
The power to order such remands (that is, where we retain jurisdiction) to district courts is confirmed by a number of cases in this and other circuits. E.g., Amgen, Inc. v. Kidney Center of Delaware County, Ltd., 95 F.3d 562, 568 (7th Cir.1996); Jason's Foods, Inc. v. Peter Eckrich & Sons, Inc., 768 F.2d 189, 190-91 (7th Cir.1985); United States v. Van, 87 F.3d 1, 4 (1st Cir.1996) (per curiam); Gulliver v. Dalsheim, 739 F.2d 104, 106 (2d Cir.1984); Palmer v. Clarke, 961 F.2d 771, 775-76 (8th Cir.1992); 16 Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R. Miller & Edward H. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure § 3937.1 (2d ed.1988). It rests, as we explained in Jason's Foods, on considerations of convenience. For example, if the remand is for a narrowly limited purpose that does not require the district court to consult the record lodged in the court of appeals by the parties to the appeal and that is unlikely to change the posture of the case in the court of appeals significantly--as when the case is remanded for the purpose of enabling the...
