(sooh-prah) Latin for "above," in legal briefs and decisions it refers to the citation
of a court decision which has been previously mentioned. Thus a case when first
cited will be referred to as Guinn v. United States, (1915) 238 U. S. 347, meaning
it can be found in volume 238 of the U. S. Reports (of the Supreme Court) at page
347 and was decided in 1915. The next time the case is cited as Guinn v. United
States, supra.
