Cases are often published, or reported, in more than one place. You may see several citations following one case name. These notations of all the reporters in which a case is published are called parallel citations. For example:
United States v. American Library Association, et al., 539 U.S. 194, 123 S. Ct. 2297, 156 L. Ed. 2d 221 (2003).
This is the same decision, just in different resources. With the current versions of The Bluebook, only one source needs to be cited. Table 1 of The Bluebook will identify which is the preferred citation and source.
