Memorandum Decision

A ruling by the Court of Appeals on an appeal. Unlike an opinion, though, the Memorandum Decision does not create case law, i.e., the case does not create a precedent that judges must follow in other cases. Nevertheless, the Court of Appeals details their decision and explains why they arrived at the conclusion that they did. See Opening Brief.
