Which circuit is indicated in the Bunge citation from 1941?

In Bluebook style, the circuit is identified directly in the citation by the abbreviation for the appellate court, using a number followed by Cir. The Third Circuit is shown as “3d Cir.”, with the numeral followed by a lowercase “d” and then Cir. This is the distinctive marker you look for when determining which circuit a citation points to. So, a Bunge citation from 1941 that includes the designation “3d Cir.” is identifying the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The year helps situate the decision in time, but the circuit identity comes from that “3d Cir.” label. Other circuits would appear as “1st Cir.”, “2d Cir.”, or “4th Cir.”, respectively, if they were the indicated court.
