context: The district court made no such finding, relying exclusively on the remand itself. If indeed the narrowing is due to plaintiffs' litigation (either because it led the Board to cut down U.S. Lines's request, or because the remand induced U.S. Lines to trim its sails), this could represent the sort of benefit the appellees sought in bringing suit, the kind of "distinct external effect" on the real world that can render appellees partially prevailing parties.
