A press release from the Project on Fair Representation says there will be further appeal. It is not clear if it will be to the en banc 5th Circuit or a cert petition to the Supreme Court again.

Here is a link to the opinion http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/fisher-remand.pdf

The SCOTUS told the 5th Cir. to review the UT admission policy in light of new standard and the 5th Cir. found that the UT admission policy was still acceptable.
