6 Cir. R. 32.1
Citing Judicial Dispositions; Effect of Published Decisions
(a) Citing Unpublished Dispositions. The court permits citation of any unpublished
opinion, order, judgment, or other written disposition. The limitations of Fed. R. App. P.
32.1(a) do not apply. If a party cites such an item that is not available in a publicly
accessible electronic database, the party must file and serve a copy as an addendum to the
brief or other paper in which it is cited.
(b) Binding Effect of Published Decisions. Published panel opinions are binding on later
panels. A published opinion is overruled only by the court en banc.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
