How to cite a court case found online
<p>I need to cite one court case for a project I am researching. The <em>Chicago Manual of Style</em> says to use Bluebook citation for legal materials. I have a link to the document that I am using, but I am not sure how to cite it.
This is the link to the case: <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-nyed-1_11-cr-00623/summary" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link here</a>.</p>
<p>I think my citation should look something like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>USA vs. Hasbajrami</em> _____ (E.D.N.Y. 2016)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since I found it online, I'm not sure how to mark the &quot;reporter&quot; field, which I believe should be in the empty space I marked.</p>
<p>How should I cite this? I apologize, I have no experience with law, and despite about an hour of trying to figure out this one citation, I don't think I'm searching for the right things because I can't find anything.</p>

<p>This is an unreported case, so there is no &quot;reporter&quot; designation. You can cite like this: <a href="https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-hasbajrami" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>United States v. Hasbajrami</em>, No. 11-CR-623 (JG), 2016 WL 1029500, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 8, 2016)</a>.</p>
