RE:RE:RE:RE:Well #3That's basically correct. It will be up to the lower court to decide to re-litigate the particular issue(s) the appellate court determined the judge applied the law to incorrectly. Unlikely, but who knows. DME, I believe, also has the option to request a different judge, based on his error(s). I may be incorrect on that facet though as I'm not super familiar with the U.S. system.
