The Second Circuit vacated the district court judgment and remanded with instructions to return the case to New York State Supreme Court (Entry #46), which Judge Marrero executed on July 8, 2024 (Entry #47), followed by costs being taxed against DLA Piper in favor of Link Motion for $2,177.40 (Entry #48). This federal case is now concluded and has been transferred back to state court where it will continue under different procedural rules and timelines. No immediate federal action is required before 9 AM as the remand is complete, but monitor for new state court filings and appearance requirements.

YOUR CASE FILE
Entry #46 (Jul 3): Second Circuit mandate vacating district court judgment and ordering remand to NY State Supreme Court in USCA Case 23-944
Entry #47 (Jul 8): Judge Marrero's order executing the remand to NY State Supreme Court for New York County
Entry #48 (Aug 29): Costs taxed against DLA Piper and Caryn G. Schechtman in amount of $2,177.40 in favor of appellant Link Motion Inc.
Federal case now closed; proceedings will continue in state court with different deadlines and procedures
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
Link Motion successfully appealed and obtained complete reversal with remand, suggesting strong appellate arguments that overcame the district court's initial ruling
The successful cost recovery of $2,177.40 demonstrates Link Motion's confidence in their position and willingness to pursue all available remedies
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
This represents a significant procedural victory for Link Motion, moving the case from federal court (potentially favorable to DLA Piper) back to state court where different substantive law, procedural rules, and judicial attitudes may apply
DLA Piper must now defend in state court where they may face different discovery rules, motion practice, and potentially more plaintiff-friendly procedures
