Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

MANTON, Circuit Judge.
This is a suit in equity by the trustee to recover a preference under section 67e of the Bankruptcy Act (11 USCA § 107 (e). The bill is in equity, and alleges the transfer to have been voidable, having been made within four months prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy. A motion is made to dismiss the appeal for the reason that it was not taken within 30 days, the time prescribed by section 24c of the Bankruptcy Aet (11 USCA § 47 (e). It was taken within 90 days after the deeree was entered. For the reasons which we have stated in Lowenstein v. Reikes, 54 F.(2d) 481, decided this day, the motion herein is denied.
Motion denied.
