page number

1064 is a page number.

"Friedrich" refers to Friedrich v. Friedrich, a very important US child abduction case, heard on appeal by the US Sixth District Court in 1993 and again in 1996. This citation refers to the latter appeal, the reference for which is 78 F.3d 1060.

The case can be seen here: http://ftp.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/78/78.F3d.1060.94-38...

In citations of US court cases, the first figure (78) refers to the volume, the second bit (F.3d) refers to the law report where the case is recorded, and the last figure (1060) refers to the page where the case starts in that volume. So here, "at 1064" means that the relevant passage is on p. 1064, though the case report starts on p. 1060.

On case citations, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_citation

"Supra" means that the case was cited in full earlier in the document (as 78 F.3d 1060), and here this specific page is being given.
