• holding that the district court could address a standing issue on remand that was not decided on the previous appeal

• noting that the law-of-the-case doctrine only applies to the extent the issue in question was within the scope of the prior appeal
• “Our case law could not be clearer that the law of the case doctrine cannot apply when the issue in question was outside the scope of the prior appeal.”
• “Because the issue of a loss payee’s standing to sue was in no way a part of the first appeal, neither the law of the case doctrine nor the mandate rule prevented the district court from considering that question on remand.”
