What is the correct short form to cite Lipshy for information beginning on pages 37 and 38?

Short citations to a case use a pinpoint with “at” before the page numbers. Since Lipshy is in the Federal Supplement, the proper form shows the reporter and then the exact pages you’re citing, with the pinpoint indicator included. So you write Lipshy, 492 F. Supp. at 37-38. The version without “at” doesn’t give the pinpoint cue, the version with the wrong pages points to a different part of the record, and using F.2d points to a different reporter series entirely.
