My understanding of Bluebook (Rule 6.1(a)) is that any abbreviation component that contains more than just one letter or a letter and number combination (such as 2d) is set off on both sides by spaces (F.2d but F. Supp.). Hence, I would use F. Supp. 2d.

Has anyone seen anything, or know intuitively how the new Federal
Supplement 2d should be cited. West Publishing is saying that the courts
are citing it as F.Supp.2d, but we have been thinking that it might be
F.Supp. 2d or F. Supp. 2d
What does veryone think:
F.Supp.2d
F.Supp. 2d
F. Supp. 2d
We need to update the dictionary component of our CompareRite, CiteRite,
etc. and I wondered how everyone else had treated this.
Thank you.
