Task: songer_genresp1

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
In some cases there is some confusion over who should be listed as the appellant and who as the respondent. This confusion is primarily the result of the presence of multiple docket numbers consolidated into a single appeal that is disposed of by a single opinion. Most frequently, this occurs when there are cross appeals and/or when one litigant sued (or was sued by) multiple litigants that were originally filed in district court as separate actions. The coding rule followed in such cases should be to go strictly by the designation provided in the title of the case. The first person listed in the title as the appellant should be coded as the appellant even if they subsequently appeared in a second docket number as the respondent and regardless of who was characterized as the appellant in the opinion.
To clarify the coding conventions, consider the following hypothetical case in which the US Justice Department sues a labor union to strike down a racially discriminatory seniority system and the corporation (siding with the position of its union) simultaneously sues the government to get an injunction to block enforcement of the relevant civil rights law. From a district court decision that consolidated the two suits and declared the seniority system illegal but refused to impose financial penalties on the union, the corporation appeals and the government and union file cross appeals from the decision in the suit brought by the government. Assume the case was listed in the Federal Reporter as follows:
United States of America,
Plaintiff, Appellant
v
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendant, Appellee.
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendants, Cross-appellants
v
United States of America.
Widgets, Inc. & Susan Kuersten Sheehan, President & Chairman
of the Board
Plaintiff, Appellants,
v
United States of America,
Defendant, Appellee.
This case should be coded as follows:Appellant = United States, Respondents = International Brotherhood of Widget Workers Widgets, Inc., Total number of appellants = 1, Number of appellants that fall into the category "the federal government, its agencies, and officials" = 1, Total number of respondents = 3, Number of respondents that fall into the category "private business and its executives" = 2, Number of respondents that fall into the category "groups and associations" = 1.
When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 
Your task is to determine the nature of the first listed respondent.

PER CURIAM.
A trustee in bankruptcy sought to set aside as a voidable preference a transfer of stock by the bankrupt made within four months before the filing of his petition in bankruptcy.
Ansel B. Solenberger, the bankrupt, sold forged bonds in the amount of $3,000 to Eldridge M. Lemley. He sold other forged bonds to Mrs. Mary' K. Aulick, and was otherwise indebted to her, his total obligation to her being $10,700. When Mrs. Aulick and Lemley severally discovered the frauds committed against them, they demanded restitution. Solenberger obtained Lemley’s endorsement on his (Solenberger’s) own note to Lemley in the amount of $10,700. This note the bankrupt delivered to Mrs. Au-liek. At the same time, Solenberger executed his note to Lemley for $13,700, secured by the pledge to Lemley of 158 shares of stock in the Frederick County Improvement Corporation as collateral, which collateral is said to be worth approximately $40,000. Later, Mrs. Au-lick sued Lemley and recovered the amount of the endorsed note.
The case was tried before the referee, who held that the transfer of the pledged stock constituted a voidable preference. On review, the District Judge held that the transfer of the stock was voidable, insofar as it undertook to secure the payment in full of the $3,000 due by the bankrupt to Lemley. As to the $10,700, the transfer was held by the District Judge to be for a valuable present consideration and beyond attack. The trustee appealed to this court. The case is here upon a stipulation of facts entered into by counsel in substitution for a record of the testimony which had been mechanically recorded, but could not be transcribed because of some mechanical failure.
In the argument before this court, various contentions were advanced which could make the case turn one way or another, depending on a more complete disclosure of the facts. Conflicting inferences are urged by the respective litigants which, in justice to them, ought to be resolved by detailed and recorded testimony. One of the hypotheses suggested, which is founded upon inferences permissible from the brief stipulation of primary facts, is that the bankrupt came into unconditional possession of his own note after it had been endorsed by Lemley, and that he used this note, independently of Lemley, to pay and discharge the claim of Mrs. Aulick. Under this hypothesis, it may well be concluded, if Mrs. Aulick where made a party to the proceeding, that the preferential transfer was to her rather than to Lemley, and that she is obligated to make restitution to the trustee. Other conclusions are not precluded by the sketchy stipulation in this record. Precisely what occurred between the bankrupt, Lemley, and Mrs. Aulick in connection with these transactions should be fully developed so that the relative rights and obligations of the parties may be correctly determined.
Under these circumstances, we think that, in the interest of justice, the action of the District Court should neither be affirmed nor reversed at this time, but that the order should be vacated and the case remanded to the District Court with leave to join such additional parties as may appear appropriate, to take testimony, either before the referee or in open court as the district judge may in his discretion determine, and for such further proceedings as may be deemed necessary.
Kemanded for further proceedings.
