I see that you apparently have begun an article on a court case called "Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, 72 S 243 (1982)". However, "Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, 72 S 243 (1982)" is not a valid citation for an American court decision.
Perhaps you meant "72 S. Ct. 243 (1982)." That could be a United States Supreme Court decision. A preliminary search I just did at www.findlaw.com reveals no U.S. Supreme Court decision with the name "Chrapliwy" in the style of the case. Right now I don't have immediate access to the official United States Reports or the West Supreme Court Reporter, so I can't fully check this myself.
There is a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit called: Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc., 670 F.2d 760 (7th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 956 (1983), that is cited in some U.S. Supreme Court decisions, such as in Library of Congress v. Shaw, 478 U.S. 310 (1986). There is also a case called Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc., 17 Fed. Rules Serv. 2d 719 (N.D. Ind. 1973).
If those are not the cases you are talking about, and you are referring to a United States Supreme Court decision, the form of the citation is usually something like "Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc., xxx U.S. xxx (1982) or "Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc., xxx S. Ct. xxx (1982).
Please go back and double check your citation. This could be a good case to discuss, but we need to have a valid citation so that people can study the case.
Dear editors: I went ahead and changed the citation in the article to conform to the comments above. I do this reluctantly, as I have not actually studied the case (therefore I'm not going to make any edits to the substance of the article until and unless I actually do study the text of the court's decision).
