I'm trying to cite to a deposition in my legal writing paper. B10 of the Bluebook (pgs. 19-22 of the 18th edition) provides examples of depo citations: "Smith Dep. 27:4-28:2." The Bluebook does not explicitly indicate what the numbers refer to.
Can anyone confirm that the example provided means: Smith deposition [page] 27, [paragraph] 4, through [page] 28, [paragraph] 2?

Re: Blue Book Citation for Depositions
It looks like you need the 19th edition, my friend.
