Task: songer_respond2_1_2

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.
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 concerns the second listed respondent. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "private business (including criminal enterprises)". Your task is to classify the scope of this business into one of the following categories: "local" (individual or family owned business, scope limited to single community; generally proprietors, who are not incorporated); "neither local nor national" (e.g., an electrical power company whose operations cover one-third of the state); "national or multi-national" (assume that insurance companies and railroads are national in scope); and "not ascertained".

PER CURIAM.
The above cause coming on to be heard upon arguments, briefs of counsel, and transcript of the record, it appears that appellee Potter is the assignee of a judgment of foreclosure against property of appellant; that upon appellee’s motion for an order of sale in such foreclosure proceedings, appellant filed answer and counterclaim, setting forth that appellee had entered into a contract to extend the time for payment of the judgment, that such extended period had not yet expired, and that appellee owed appellant, by virtue of the terms of a lease of the property in question, more than enough to pay the judgment debt. It appears from the pleadings that appellee is not a resident of the State of Kentucky and owns no property located therein. Section 378 of the Civil Code of Practice of Kentucky permits a judgment debtor to enjoin the enforcement of a judg- • ment against him if he has an action pending in which the judgment could be used as a set-off against the judgment creditor, where it is necessary to do so in order to prevent loss by insolvency, non-residence, or otherwise; and Section 285 of the Civil Code of Practice of Kentucky requires that the action seeking such injunction be brought in the court in which the judgment was rendered. But it appears that appellant has made no application to enjoin the enforcement of the judgment. The trial court correctly held that appellant could not, in proceedings for sale under judgment of foreclosure, and without injunctive proceedings, stay such proceedings and litigate its claim against appellee by way of answer and counter-claim.
Wherefore, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
