Ind. Decisions - "Memorandum Decisions Reclassified as For Publication"

This is great. I just noticed it today, although it may have been up for much longer. It is something this blog in the past has mentioned as needed.

The Indiana Appellate Opinions page now has a link to a list of "Memorandum Decisions Reclassified as For Publication," with the explanation:

The Indiana appellate opinions below were originally classified as Not-for-Publication Memorandum Decisions when handed down by the Court of Appeals, see Ind. Appellate Rule 65(A), but later reclassified as For Publication by Court order. Opinions are listed in reverse chronological order by date of the order reclassifying the opinion. The "Decision Issued" column lists the original date of issuance. This list includes only opinions ordered published after 01/01/2007.
The list, as of today, contains 22 opinions, since the beginning of 2007, reclassified from NFP to FP. This means that the limitation of Rule 65(D) not longer applies to these reclassified opinions:
(D) Precedential Value of Not-For-Publication Memorandum Decision. Unless later designated for publication, a not-for-publication memorandum decision shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited to any court except by the parties to the case to establish res judicata, collateral estoppel, or law of the case.
