I remember one where the 5th circuit somehow tried to retake jurisdiction after petitions were filed with SCOTUS, but it sounds like that wasn't this case.

Oh, no! That was the Missouri v. Biden, the social media influence case. And that was a ruling out of Louisiana! But, yes, the Fifth Circuit did that. (They also kind of did something like that, but a little less egregious, in the Galveston VRA case that SCOTUS acted on this week.)

Ah, yes! I think I mixed them up because both involved insane district court orders that were narrowed to still-problematic-but-less-transparently-absurd versions at the appelate level.
