1. “[P]laintiffs-appellants are not free to assert on remand 'all arguments previously made' with respect to the ‘non-vested portion of the [photographic] archive.’ In view of our August 16 decision and our denial today of plaintiffs-appellants' petition for rehearing, plaintiffs-appellants are limited in terms of the arguments they may make on remand. The only claim that plaintiffs-appellants may assert on remand is their claim of an implied-in-fact contract of bailment with respect to the 'non-vested portion of the [photographic] archive'.... If the district court rules in the government's favor on its statute of limitations defense, or if it rules in the government's favor on any other dispos-itive defense that, consistent with this opinion, is properly before it, then the case will be over, subject, of course, to any appeal of plaintiffs-appellants.”
