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 second listed respondent. If there are more than two respondents and at least one of the additional respondents has a different general category from the first respondent, then consider the first respondent with a different general category to be the second respondent.

PER CURIAM.
The defendant East Kentucky Power Cooperative appeals and the plaintiff Edward Gillen Company cross-appeals from judgment entered by the district court following a jury trial in this action by the general contractor on a construction project against the owner and the project engineer. The plaintiff contends that the defendants failed to warn it of soil conditions known to them which caused excessive subsidence requiring the plaintiff to suffer substantial loss of production and to perform extra work in connection with pilings. The plaintiff also sought payment for extra work performed in storing and moving materials from one site to another at the request of the defendant East Kentucky Power Cooperative.
The plaintiff sought recovery for the expenses involved with the soil subsidence on both contract and fraud theories. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants on the contract claims and submitted the fraud issue to the jury. In doing so the district court relied on two recent decisions of the Kentucky Court of Appeals (now the Kentucky Supreme Court): Codell Construction Co. v. Commonwealth, 566 S.W.2d 161 (Ky.App.1977), and Dravo Corp. v. Commonwealth, 564 S.W.2d 16 (Ky.App.1977). On appeal the plaintiff argues that these two decisions are not controlling and that it was entitled to have its claim for breach of contract submitted to the jury. Upon consideration the court concludes that the district court properly applied controlling Kentucky law in refusing to submit the breach of contract claim to the jury.
On cross-appeal East Kentucky Power Cooperative contends that it was error for the district court to permit recovery for delay and expense in storing and relocating material because recovery was precluded by the “no-damage for delay” clause in the contract and for the failure of the plaintiff to submit a change authorization request for any additional work. Both of these issues were submitted to the jury which determined by its verdict that neither clause pertained to the factual situation developed at the trial. We agree with the district court that East Kentucky Power Cooperative was not entitled to a directed verdict on this issue and that the issue was properly submitted to the jury under corrected instructions.
The court also concludes that the district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing prejudgment interest.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed on appeal and cross-appeal.
