I.O.P. 7.3: Reversal or Remand
Local Appellate Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Third Circuit — I.O.P. Chapter 7. Orders Reversing or Remanding
In some instances when a panel reverses or remands a case to the district court or agency and it is not feasible to write an opinion, usually because the matter requires immediate attention, the court enters a dispositive order setting forth briefly the reasons for its action. Such an order does not circulate to the non-panel judges.
