Task: songer_majvotes

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the number of judges who voted in favor of the disposition favored by the majority. Judges who concurred in the outcome but wrote a separate concurring opinion are counted as part of the majority. For most cases this variable takes the value "2" or "3." However, for cases decided en banc the value may be as high as 15. Note: in the typical case, a list of the judges who heard the case is printed immediately before the opinion. If there is no indication that any of the judges dissented and no indication that one or more of the judges did not participate in the final decision, then all of the judges listed as participating in the decision are assumed to have cast votes with the majority. The number of majority votes recorded includes district judges or other judges sitting by designation who participated on the appeals court panel. If there is an indication that a judge heard argument in the case but did not participate in the final opinion (e.g., the judge died before the decision was reached), that judge is not counted in the number of majority votes.

PER CURIAM.
This action was instituted by the trustee in bankruptcy, seeking among other things to set aside a sale of the bankrupt’s property consummated prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy. The bill of complaint alleged that the sale in question was in pursuance of a fraudulent and wrongful conspiracy entered into by the defendants. The District Court found that no fraud or collusion of any kind existed in the sale, and that no conspiracy existed between the appellees and the bankrupt, and gave judgment against the trustee.
On May 3, 1945, Frances Kolon filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under which she was adjudicated bankrupt on May 4, 1945. The schedules in bankruptcy showed the principal creditor to be one Catherine Wieczorek, guardian of John Wieczorek, who had theretofore procured a judgment for personal injuries against the bankrupt in the state court in the amount of $5,320.
In April, 1945, a writ of execution was secured by the judgment creditor, under which the sheriff of Wayne County, Michigan, seized certain furniture and fixtures belonging to the bankrupt and used in the operation of a beauty parlor in the city of Detroit, Michigan. On April 9, 1945, the sheriff sold these fixtures and furniture at public sale to Mary Plotkowski, mother of the bankrupt, who purchased them as the highest bidder. The bankrupt was absent from the sale, and knew nothing of the purchase. The purchase price of $1,150 paid by Mary Plotkowski was remitted by ■the sheriff to the judgment creditor in partial satisfaction of the judgment.
It is uncontradicted on this record that the funds used by Mary Plotkowski in purchasing the assets of the bankrupt were her own funds. The record shows by clear and satisfactory evidence, Cf. Eberline v. Prager, 209 Mich. 322, 176 N.W. 428, that the funds in question were derived from Mary Plotkowski’s savings from a grocery and meat business formerly carried on by her and her husband, and from the sale in 1941 of certain real property belonging to Mary Plotkowski. While the fixtures and furniture were restored to the beauty parlor and the bankrupt operated it on a salary basis until about September 1, 1946, the assets in question at no time subsequent to April 9, 1945, were or became the property of the bankrupt.
The findings of fact made by the District Court are amply sustained by the evidence, and its conclusions of law are correct.
The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
