The Libel of Review is fluff wrapped around the Refusal for Cause.
Once the R4C is in place, one is dependant upon Rule C(3)(a)(ii)(B)
Arrest warrant. That is where things stall out with the U.S. deputy clerk saying, "There are no ships; no high tide marks. Therefore I will not process the arrest warrant."
However when the case is obviously in admiralty because the U.S. Attorney is moving in Rule C (in rem) things go well. The best method is Verified Statement of Right.
The LoR when initiated by the libelled man or woman is usually dismissed. However one learns by doing how to say, "No. Thank you." properly in international law. And if you look closely, the case jacket becomes an evidence repository for future Refusals for Cause.*

This gians control over contracts, even though it may not make the immediate problem go away. [Seldom does anyone file a LoR within three days of the initial presentment anyway. There are typically several adminstrative judgments formed against the petitioner by the time they call me.] So that is what generates more suitors. Jealousy. I have explained it so many times that the suitor usually sends a friend or two to me. Because of this I must deduce it is well worth the money spent.
Also keep in mind that the
Are You Lost at Sea? booklet is outdated and by the time I was using it, it was failing, if it ever worked to begin with. But it describes a foundation accurately.

* Sometimes the clerk returns a subsequent R4C saying the case has been dismissed. The package is returned to the U.S. Courthouse with a copy of the filing receipt to remind the clerk of contract. [The suitor actually purchased much better than a "judgment" from a U.S. Magistrate pretending to be a judge; the cognizance of the United States.] Subsequent R4Cs are filed without hitch.
