What is the test for remand in a motion seeking to overturn a finding that a judge applied the wrong legal standard?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. State of Wash., 641 F.2d 1368 (9th Cir. 1981):
We may uphold correct conclusions of law even though they are reached for the wrong reason or for no reason, and we may affirm a correct decision on any basis supported by the record. United States v. Humboldt County, 628 F.2d 549, 551 (9th Cir. 1980). We must remand, however, if the district court's application of an incorrect legal standard leaves us with an inadequate factual record on which to affirm. See Amador Beltran v. United States, 302 F.2d 48, 52 (1st Cir. 1962).
