     The search engine found six published and two unpublished opinions in the First Circuit which match our criteria. As proof that our search worked, the second image below highlights a portion of the text of the first opinion in our hit list.

     It is worth noting here that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit recently held in Anastasoff v. United States, No. 99-3917, 2000 WL 1182813, at *6; 2000.C08.004298 (8th Cir. Aug. 22, 2000) that the portion of 8th Circuit Rule 28A(i) that states unpublished opinions are not precedent is unconstitutional under Article III of the United States Constitution. Unpublished opinions are also helpful in terms of providing guidance and insight into how a Court may be inclined to rule in a particular instance.
