10th Cir. R. 36.1: Publication
Tenth Circuit Rules — Title VII. General Provisions
The court does not publish its decision in every case. Disposition without publication does not mean that the case is unimportant. It means that the case does not require application of new points of law that would make the decision a valuable precedent.
When the opinion of the district court, an administrative agency, or the Tax Court has been published, this court ordinarily designates its disposition for publication.
