    Thats what I said. You just seem to have missed the significance.

    The "11th Circuit" is a court of appeals. Jack appealed the lower court's ruling (that he was illegally appointed, and therefore never had standing to prosecute the case), then dismissed his own appeal BEFORE the 11th cicuit court of appeals could rule on it, and thereby divested the 11th DCA of jurisdiction to rule on the issue.

    Therefore the lower court's dispositive judgment stands.

    Any case on the same facts would have to start from scratch, by someone with legal standing to prosecute such a case.

    Dig bra?

    any mention of the 2 co-Defendents would have to be omitted until their appeals are ruled upon is my understanding

    Not necessarily. The issue with Smith is that he was not Senate confirmed. If Garland replaced him with someone that has been confirmed by the Senate in their current position, then they would be the new Special Counsel and could turn in Smith's report.
