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.
On May 15, 1961 Hon. Richard H. Levet, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, sentenced petitioner, Carmine Galente, to imprisonment for a contempt of court committed in court in the presence of the sentencing judge on an earlier day during a trial in which Galente was one of several defendants. The sentence was for a period of twenty days, the imprisonment to begin forthwith.
On that day Galente applied to Judge Levet for bail pending an appeal to the Court of Appeals. This application was denied. On May 18 a notice of appeal was filed and on that day petitioner executed a petition to us for such bail.
The motion came on for hearing on May 23 and was fully argued upon supporting and opposing affidavits. From these affidavits it is clear that the appeal is frivolous. See Fed.Rules Crim.Proc. Rule 46(a) (2) and United States v. Brown, 2 Cir., 247 F.2d 332, affirmed 359 U.S. 41, 79 S.Ct. 539, 3 L.Ed.2d 609. The motion for bail is denied.
