Actually the problem is more general since the case docket URL isn't great either:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca2.c1f7d357-4c6d-401c-b2cc-579231b2da82/
err, well, that's not really the case docket (…), but you know what I mean?
Yeah, that's not pretty. Let's see if we can do better.
Checking out https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69025647/united-states-of-america-v-slaughter/, I see that ACMS filenames appear to have UUIDs for case numbers, instead of docket numbers or something manageable. For instance:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca2.c1f7d357-4c6d-401c-b2cc-579231b2da82/gov.uscourts.ca2.c1f7d357-4c6d-401c-b2cc-579231b2da82.17.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca2.c1f7d357-4c6d-401c-b2cc-579231b2da82/gov.uscourts.ca2.c1f7d357-4c6d-401c-b2cc-579231b2da82.50.0_1.pdf
We can do better! (Especially because we have actual docket number filenames for appellate CMECF. At least sometimes.)
