In the next sentence after Mobil Oil, with no intervening cites, what is the proper short form to cite information at 56 A.D.2d 342 and 392 N.Y.S.2d 617?

Short form citations let you refer to the immediately preceding authority without repeating the full citation. After the Mobil Oil citation, you can use Id. to point to the same case and add the exact pages you’re citing. When the same case appears in multiple reporters, you include the pinpoint references for each reporter. So you would write Id. at 342, 392 N.Y.S.2d at 617 to show the specific pages from both reporters. This matches the requirement of no intervening cites and directly pinpoints the material across the parallel citations. The other options either repeat the full citation, cite a different case, or don’t format the short form correctly for multiple reporters.
