Task: songer_appel1_7_5

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.
When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 

Your task concerns the first listed appellant. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "natural person (excludes persons named in their official capacity or who appear because of a role in a private organization)". Your task is to determine which of these categories best describes the income of the litigant. Consider the following categories: "not ascertained", "poor + wards of state" (e.g., patients at state mental hospital; not prisoner unless specific indication that poor), "presumed poor" (e.g., migrant farm worker), "presumed wealthy" (e.g., high status job - like medical doctors, executives of corporations that are national in scope, professional athletes in the NBA or NFL; upper 1/5 of income bracket), "clear indication of wealth in opinion", "other - above poverty line but not clearly wealthy" (e.g., public school teachers, federal government employees)." Note that "poor" means below the federal poverty line; e.g., welfare or food stamp recipients. There must be some specific indication in the opinion that you can point to before anyone is classified anything other than "not ascertained". Prisoners filing "pro se" were classified as poor, but litigants in civil cases who proceed pro se were not presumed to be poor. Wealth obtained from the crime at issue in a criminal case was not counted when determining the wealth of the criminal defendant (e.g., drug dealers).

PER CURIAM.
In the year 1939 appellant was convicted and sentenced under two indictments, one of which charged interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle, and the other the crime of concealing and storing the same vehicle. In 1946, while confined in Alcatraz prison in execution of the sentences imposed upon him, he moved to vacate and set aside the judgment and sentence in the case involving concealing and storing; and from an order denying his motion, he has appealed to this court. In his brief and reply brief, he makes three contentions: (1) That the crime of concealing and storing was a part of and embraced in the crime of transporting; (2) that, if the crime of concealing and storing be not construed as a part of the crime of transporting, it is not sufficiently described in the indictment; and (3) that the facts in evidence show that only one crime was committed.
There is nothing in any of these contentions. As to the first, it is well settled that the crime of concealing and storing is a separate and distinct crime from that of transporting and may be separately punished. Lindsay v. United States, 10 Cir., 134 F.2d 960 and cases there cited. This is but an application of the rule that, where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, prosecution may be sustained under both where each requires proof of a fact which the other does not. Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299, 52 S.Ct. 180, 76 L.Ed. 306; Montgomery v. United States; 4 Cir., 146 F.2d 142. As to the second contention, the law is that an indictment, the sufficiency of which is not questioned on the trial, will not be held insufficient on a motion to vacate the judgment entered thereon unless it is so obviously defective that by no reasonable construction can it be said to charge the offense for which conviction was had. Lucas v. United States, 4 Cir., 158 F.2d 865. That is manifestly not the case, here, as the most that can be said is that the crime charged was not described with technical accuracy. As to the third contention, nothing is better settled than that a motion such as this to vacate a judgment cannot be used to review the sufficiency of the evidence or the proceedings had on the trial as upon appeal or writ of error. Ong v. United States, 4 Cir., 131 F.2d 175.
The order appealed from will be affirmed.
