California Rules of Court, Rule 8.1115(a) states: "an opinion of a California Court of Appeal or superior court appellate division that is not certified for publication or ordered published must not be cited or relied on by a court or a party in any other action. Rule 8.1115(b) states the exceptions to this rule. It states: "An unpublished opinion may be cited or relied on: (1) when the opinion is relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel, or (2) when the opinion is relevant to a criminal or disciplinary action because it states reasons for a decision affecting the same defendant or respondent in another such action.

The request can be made by any person and must be made by letter to the rendering court within 20 days after the opinion is filed. The letter must state the person's interest and the reason why the opinion meets the standard for publication. All parties of interest must be served with the letter. The rendering court must forward the request, a copy of its opinion, its disposition recommendation and a brief statement of its reasons to the Supreme Court within 15 days after the decision is final if it is unable to grant the request before the decision is final. A copy of the recommendation and reasons must also be sent to all parties of interest. The Supreme Court may either grant or deny the request and must send notice of its decision to all parties of interest. The rule states that an order to depublish (i.e., not to publish) is not an "expression of the court's opinion of the correctness of the result of the decision or of any law stated in the opinion."
