No, its just that HN’s automatic linkification continues until it breaks on whitespace, so if you type punctuation (here, the “;”) after a link with no intervening space, it gets included in the URL.

Strip the semicolon and its fine:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_26



Thanks! I probably should also have mentioned https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45 (with no punctuation at the end).

But also I possibly shouldn't use civil litigation as the only example of subpoenas, again because this one arose in a different context.
