Some facts
1.All cases and rulings of "Courts of Record" are reported. That includes all US District, Tax and Appeals Courts and most State courts other than Justice, small claims and Municipal courts.

published and recorded are two different things, I don't know what you mean by reported. I can assure you that not all appellate cases are published and therefore available to cite as a reliance in future cases.
Why do I know? Because I have had a lower court ruling overturned on appeal, and it was not published. and for the record, it was the first test of a new law (motorcycle helmets in CA).
