what happened here? Did the case get remanded after Lin Wood appealed it?

I used to have a PACER account, but it’s expired.

After Sandmann filed suit, the Washington Post lawyers filed a Motion to Dismiss. The judge then made an order granting the Washington Post's Motion to Dismiss. When the judge made that order, he stated the legal reasons for making it. Sandmann's lawyers then filed a Motion to Reconsider (reconsider the judges order granting the Motion to Dismiss) stating the legal reasons the judge was wrong. The judge could either deny it, in which case Sandmann's lawyers would have appealed it to the 6th Circuit, or he could grant it and put the case back on track. The judge granted it, basically saying he was incorrect in dismissing it.
Judges do not like to admit they were wrong and grant Motions to Reconsider, my guess is that the judge knew the MOD would get overturned in the 6th so he granted the MTR.
