P. 62.1 filed by Intervenor-appellee Support Center for Child Advocates and Philadelphia Family Pride, Construed as a Motion for Limited Remand. Certificate of Service dated 08/03/2018. Service made by ECF. [18-2574]–[Edited 08/06/2018 by PDB] (CVW) [Entered: 08/03/2018 03:56 PM]
113001180 08/06/2018 Doc ORDER (Clerk) The notice asks this Court to grant a limited remand so that the district court can consider the proposed intervenors’ motion to intervene. The notice will be submitted to a motions panel as a motion for a limited remand. Given this appeal’s expedited briefing schedule, any response to the motion must be filed within three days of this order. The proposed intervenors must file within three days a corrected version of their motion containing a copy of the district court’s indicative ruling, which was referenced but not attached as an exhibit. See 3d Cir. L.A.R. 113.6. Unless the Court orders otherwise, a remand will not affect the expedited briefing schedule previously set by the Court. See Fed. R. App. P. 12.1(b) (noting that Court “retains jurisdiction unless it expressly dismisses the appeal”). If a limited remand is granted and the district court grants the motion to intervene, the proposed intervenors must notify the Clerk within five days of the district court’s order. Their notice must indicate whether they will participate in this appeal and, if so, what party they will support. Failure to timely file this notice will be deemed a notice of non-participation and the proposed intervenors will not be permitted to file a brief. (PDB) [Entered: 08/06/2018 12:18 PM]

113006585 08/10/2018 Doc ORDER (RESTREPO and BIBAS, Circuit Judges) Notice of District Court Indicative Ruling, Construed as Motion for Limited Remand under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure12.1(b) and Response. We construe Proposed Intervenors’ corrected notice of indicative ruling as a motion for limited remand, and grant that motion. Given this appeal’s expedited briefing schedule, this limited remand will not affect the expedited briefing schedule previously set by this Court. See Fed. R. App.P. 12.1(b) (noting that a court of appeals “retains jurisdiction unless it expressly dismissd the appeal”). Based on the District Court’s indicative ruling, we are confident that it will expeditiously decide Proposed Intervenors’ motion to intervene. If the District Court grants the motion to intervene, the Proposed Intervenors must notify the Clerk of this court within five (5) days of the District Court’s order. The notice must indicate whether they will participate in this appeal and, if so, which party they will support. Failure to timely file this notice will be deemed a notice of non-participation and the Proposed Intervenors will not be permitted to file a brief. Any brief would be due on the same day as the party the Proposed Intervenors support. The Court disfavors repetitive briefing, so the proposed intervenors and the parties they support are encouraged to consult with one another about the contents of their briefs and to join in or adopt portions of one another’s briefs by reference. See Fed. R. App.P. 28(i), filed. Panel No.: BCO-104. Bibas, Authoring Judge. (CLW) [Entered: 08/10/2018 05:15 PM]
