[6]CourtListener API v4 exact-name opinion search, submitted through the authenticated cl-auth-search.py helper [court_record]
- Locator
- Authenticated helper query: USS LST-675; type=opinion; result count 2
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The exact-name opinion query returned United States v. Schoof (opinion 8668175), classified as a name collision/other litigation because its returned snippet identifies USS Fairfax County (LST-1193), and Abadie v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. (opinion 1878390), classified as other litigation for this hull because the returned case heading does not identify LST-675. Neither result is treated as qualifying asbestos litigation naming this vessel.
