have now settled the case and requested an indicative

62.1, whether the district court would defer, deny, or
grant a motion to vacate the underlying judgment if the
case were remanded. The district court indicated pursu-
ant to Rule 62.1(a)(3) that it would grant the motion.
Upon consideration thereof ,
IT ls ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted The case is remanded to
the district court for further proceedings as may be ap-
propriate.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
