Seek relief, in a way (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sue

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Entreat; girl's name (dim.)" , "Take proceedings against (a person)" , "take to 10 [COURT] !" , "Take legal case against" , "Plead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
