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.

FAHY, Circuit Judge.
In Wagstaff v. United States, 91 U.S. App.D.C. 146, 198 F.2d 955, hereinafter referred to as the original appeal, we affirmed this appellant’s conviction of armed robbery and of carrying a pistol without a license, in violation of §§ 22-2901, 22-3202, 22-3204, D.C.Code 1940, for which he had been sentenced January 15,1952. The sentence then imposed was modified October 9, 1953 on appellant’s motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1952) alleging that in part the sentence was in excess of that authorized by law. Appellant was not present when the Court made the modification. November 12, 1953, he appealed a second time from the conviction we had affirmed in Wagstaff v. United States, supra. This second appeal was dismissed July 10, 1954, because of appellant’s failure to comply with Rule 39(c) Fed.R.Civ.P., 28 U.S.C. May 22, 1956, he again moved under section 2255 to vacate his sentence on the ground that he had not been present in court when it was modified October 9, 1953. In the exercise of a commendable precaution the District Court had appellant returned from Alcatraz Island to the District of Columbia and on November 30, 1956, with appellant present, the Court vacated the sentence and resenteneed appellant.
The present appeal is from the judgment of November 30, 1956. This judgment includes the new sentence then imposed, which was the occasion for the judgment of that date. Yet the sentence itself is not now attacked; the only points raised are that the original conviction was impaired by the erroneous admission in evidence during the trial of a confession of a codefendant and by certain comments the trial judge made to the jury after the foreman had announced its verdict but before the jury had been polled at defense counsel’s request. The first of these questions was decided against appellant when we affirmed on the original appeal, and the latter is now raised for the first time. Both are matters which were appropriate for consideration on the original appeal. Neither is open on this appeal from the judgment of November 30, 1956, which embodies the new sentence then imposed in respose to appellant’s motion under section 2255 collaterally attacking his previous sentence only. Adams v. United States, 95 U.S.App.D.C. 354, 222 F.2d 45. Cf. Christoffel v. United States, 94 U.S.App.D.C. 168, 214 F.2d 265, where the attack was direct.
Affirmed.
. On December 10, 1956, after appellant’s counsel had requested the Court for clarification of the sentence, it vacated the order of October 9, 1953, modifying the original sentence.
