A more thorough explanation:

F.R.D. stands for Federal Rules Decisions. It is a collection of reported federal court decisions that interpret or apply the Federal Rules of Civil, Criminal, or Appellate Procedure, or the Federal Rules of Evidence. This series of decisions began in 1938 and includes rule changes, ceremonial proceedings of federal courts, and articles on federal-court practice and procedure. It is often abbreviated as FRD.

One example of a case included in F.R.D. is Smith v. Jones, 123 F.R.D. 456 (D. Cal. 2015). This case involved a dispute between two parties over a breach of contract. The court's decision in this case would be included in the F.R.D. series because it interprets and applies the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Another example is United States v. Johnson, 789 F.R.D. 123 (S.D.N.Y. 2019). This case involved a criminal trial and the court's decision would be included in the F.R.D. series because it interprets and applies the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

These examples illustrate how F.R.D. includes reported federal court decisions that interpret and apply the various Federal Rules of Procedure and Evidence.
