For the classical groups, Kraft and Procesi have resolved the question of which nilpotent orbits have closures that are normal and which do not, with the exception of the very even orbits in $D_{2l}$ that have partitions of the form $(a^{2k}, b^2)$ for $a\,{>}\,b$ even natural numbers satisfying $a k\,{+}\,b\,{=}\,2 l$.
In this paper, these orbits are shown to have normal closure.
