A [U] in the case name indicates that court decisions are unpublished. While unpublished court decisions are not precedential and may not be cited in court, they are useful for research in finding relevant case law, whether at the state, federal, or US Supreme Court level. Additionally, when unpublished court decisions are selected from the results page, Lawguru.com provides a yellow watermark in the left margin indicating the opinion is unpublished.
