There were no confederate district federal courts, at least no records exist of any decision being handed down by one...

The United States National Archives and Records Administration disagrees with you. They have the records of these courts in the National Archives (Record Group 21). See below:

21.2.6 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Middle Division of the District of Alabama

21.2.9 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Southern Division of the District of Alabama

21.11.3 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Northern District of Florida

21.12.4 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Northern Division of the District of Georgia

21.12.9 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Southern Division of the District of Georgia

21.20.5 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the District of Louisiana

21.26.2 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Northern Division of the District of Mississippi

21.35.6 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the District of North Carolina

21.45.5 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Middle Division of the District of Tennessee

21.46.7 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Southern District of Texas

21.46.10 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Western District of Texas

21.49.6 Records of the Confederate States District Court for the Western District of Virginia

I may have missed some, but the point is made. I hope the source is acceptable to you...

Not bad. Perhaps you are right, though they could not have had much power if they did exist since by decree of "President" Davis all disputes between states and residents of states and different states were to be adjudicated by the CSA Attorney General, not any CSA court system.

More than acceptable. I'm paying the price of hasty research, I admit my error and apologize for my misstatements.
