Task: songer_interven

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.
Your task is to determine whether one or more individuals or groups sought to formally intervene in the appeals court consideration of the case.

PER CURIAM.
The alleged bankrupt petitions for the allowance of an appeal of an order denying its motion to dismiss the involuntary petition in bankruptcy.
