Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Aberdeen City Council, as Administrating Authority for the North East Scotland Pension Fund, and Bucks County Employees Retirement Fund (Appellants) appeal the district court’s judgment in favor of Appellees. After filing a notice of appeal, Appellants filed a motion for relief from the district court’s judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) and a motion for an indicative judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 62.1. The district court granted Appellants’ motion for an indicative judgment and entered an order, transmitted to this court, stating that it was inclined to grant Appellants’ motion for relief from the judgment. Appellants have now moved this court to remand their case to permit the district court to consider their motion for relief from the judgment on the merits. After reviewing the parties’ submissions relative to Appellants’ motion to remand, we remand for the limited purpose of allowing the district court to rule on Appellants’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. See Fed. R. App. P. 12.1; Fobian v. Storage Tech. Corp., 164 F.3d 887 (4th Cir. 1999). We express no opinion on the merits of the motion. We retain jurisdiction in the event the district court denies Appellants’ motion, and Appellants shall immediately notify this court in writing of the district court’s decision. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. REMANDED 3
