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.

SIMONS, Circuit Judge.
It appearing that the appellant was indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for violation of the so-called Mann Act, 18 U.S.C.A. § 398, that there was substantial evidence of interstate transportation of a woman for purposes of prostitution, debauchery, and other immoral purposes, and it being the view of the Court that the claim of the appellant, that he had contracted a common law marriage in Indiana with the Government’s principal witness and that common law marriages are recognized by Indiana law, has no bearing upon the issues involved, in view of evidence that the appellant had made engagements for her to engage in prostitution with others and had received the avails of such prostitution, and it also being the view of the Court that the trial was conducted in the court below without prejudicial error in respect to any material element involved, it is hereby ordered that the judgment below be, and it is hereby, affirmed.
