Some opinions issued by the California Courts of Appeal are certified for publication by the Court of Appeal or ordered published by the Supreme Court because they meet criteria established in California Rules of Court, rule 8.1105. These opinions are known as published or citable opinions. The majority of Court of Appeal opinions are not certified for publication and are thus not published in the Official Reports. These opinions are known as unpublished; they generally cannot be cited or relied upon in other cases (see California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115). This does not mean, however, that the contents of these opinions are protected or private information.

Sore throats may be caused by a viral illness, such as: 1  The common cold, the most common type of viral infection. 2  Infection of the voice box (laryngitis). 3  Mononucleosis (mono, the kissing disease), a viral infection that tends to cause a persistent sore throat.
