Which reporter is used in the Lipshy citation?

In Bluebook practice, which reporter a citation uses depends on the court that decided the case. District court decisions are published in the Federal Supplement, abbreviated F. Supp. So a Lipshy decision, being a district court case, would be cited with F. Supp. The other reporters correspond to different courts: F.2d is for the Federal Reporter, Second Series (appellate courts), while S. Ct. and L. Ed. 2d are for the Supreme Court (official and lawyer’s edition, respectively). This is why F. Supp. is the appropriate choice for Lipshy.
