In Johnner v. Mims, the citation includes 850 N.Y.S.2d 786. What does N.Y.S.2d stand for in Bluebook practice?

In Bluebook practice, N.Y.S.2d expands to New York Supplement, Second Series. The New York Supplement is a regional reporter that compiles New York appellate decisions, and the “2d” (second) indicates the second series of that reporter. So 850 N.Y.S.2d 786 means the case is found in volume 850 of the New York Supplement, Second Series, starting on page 786. The other options point to different reporters or the first series, which do not match the 2d designation.
