F. 3D

F.3d.abbr.The third series of the Federal Reporter, which includes federal appellate decisions from 1993.

F. 3D refers to the third series of the Federal Reporter, which is a collection of federal appellate court decisions. This series includes decisions made from 1993 onwards.

Example 1: In Smith v. Jones, 123 F.3d 456 (3d Cir. 1997), the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Jones.

Example 2: The case of United States v. Johnson, 789 F.3d 123 (5th Cir. 2015) was published in the F. 3D series.

These examples illustrate how court decisions are published in the F. 3D series. The first example shows a case from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, while the second example is from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Both cases were published in the F. 3D series because they were federal appellate decisions made after 1993.
