Now that the district court has so indicated, the parties jointly move to remand these appeals for it to do so. ECF No. 60.1 We remand for the limited purpose of the district court’s consideration of the parties’ request for vacatur. See Ohio Willow Wood Co. v. Thermo-Ply, Inc., 629 F.3d 1374, 1375 (Fed.
