What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. You will be asked a question pertaining to issues that may appear in any civil law cases including civil government, civil private, and diversity cases. The issue is: "Did the factual interpretation by the court or its conclusions (e.g., regarding the weight of evidence or the sufficiency of evidence) favor the appellant?" This includes discussions of whether the litigant met the burden of proof. Answer the question based on the directionality of the appeals court decision. If the court discussed the issue in its opinion and answered the related question in the affirmative, answer "Yes". If the issue was discussed and the opinion answered the question negatively, answer "No". If the opinion considered the question but gave a mixed answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part, answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion does not discuss the issue, or notes that a particular issue was raised by one of the litigants but the court dismissed the issue as frivolous or trivial or not worthy of discussion for some other reason, answer "Issue not discussed". If the opinion considered the question but gave a "mixed" answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part (or if two issues treated separately by the court both fell within the area covered by one question and the court answered one question affirmatively and one negatively), answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion either did not consider or discuss the issue at all or if the opinion indicates that this issue was not worthy of consideration by the court of appeals even though it was discussed by the lower court or was raised in one of the briefs, answer "Issue not discussed".

MANTON, Circuit Judge.
The law firm of Cravath, De Gersdorff, Swaine & Wood was attorney for Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who, we held in a decision filed this day, In re Paramount Publix Corporation, 83 F.(2d) 406, were agents for various committees in the reorganization proceedings under section 77B of the Bankruptcy Act (11 U.S.C.A. § 207) for the Paramount Publix Corporation. As stated in that opinion, this law firm rendered legal services in the preparation of the plan of reorganization carried on from June 7, 1934, until the withdrawal of their client, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., on November 8, 1934. The character of the legal services performed and the benefits arising from them are sufficiently described in the opinion filed in the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Case. In addition, disbursements of $812.15 were incurred. The authorization to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to proceed with the preparation of a plan of reorganization necessarily implied that competent counsel would assist in the performance of this function delegated by the committees, and, further, the committees placed the company’s records at counsel’s disposal in their work of assisting in formulating a plan. As such counsel, they may be compensated within the statute’s provision for attorneys. For the services rendered in these reorganization proceedings under section 77B of the Bankruptcy Act, an allowance should be granted of $60,000, plus disbursements.
The order appealed from is reversed, with directions to provide accordingly.
