It is more accurate to say it has limited value as precedent. Lawyers routinely cite to district court opinions but they obviously aren't as influential as a federal appellate court. In this case, the judge did not recommend it for official publication which makes it a bit more obscure. It can still be reported and does have a WestLaw citation -- 2013 WL 3448130. That means it can be found by anyone with a subscription to WestLaw (a legal database).
