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.
In some cases there is some confusion over who should be listed as the appellant and who as the respondent. This confusion is primarily the result of the presence of multiple docket numbers consolidated into a single appeal that is disposed of by a single opinion. Most frequently, this occurs when there are cross appeals and/or when one litigant sued (or was sued by) multiple litigants that were originally filed in district court as separate actions. The coding rule followed in such cases should be to go strictly by the designation provided in the title of the case. The first person listed in the title as the appellant should be coded as the appellant even if they subsequently appeared in a second docket number as the respondent and regardless of who was characterized as the appellant in the opinion.
To clarify the coding conventions, consider the following hypothetical case in which the US Justice Department sues a labor union to strike down a racially discriminatory seniority system and the corporation (siding with the position of its union) simultaneously sues the government to get an injunction to block enforcement of the relevant civil rights law. From a district court decision that consolidated the two suits and declared the seniority system illegal but refused to impose financial penalties on the union, the corporation appeals and the government and union file cross appeals from the decision in the suit brought by the government. Assume the case was listed in the Federal Reporter as follows:
United States of America,
Plaintiff, Appellant
v
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendant, Appellee.
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendants, Cross-appellants
v
United States of America.
Widgets, Inc. & Susan Kuersten Sheehan, President & Chairman
of the Board
Plaintiff, Appellants,
v
United States of America,
Defendant, Appellee.
This case should be coded as follows:Appellant = United States, Respondents = International Brotherhood of Widget Workers Widgets, Inc., Total number of appellants = 1, Number of appellants that fall into the category "the federal government, its agencies, and officials" = 1, Total number of respondents = 3, Number of respondents that fall into the category "private business and its executives" = 2, Number of respondents that fall into the category "groups and associations" = 1.
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 is to determine the nature of the second listed respondent. If there are more than two respondents and at least one of the additional respondents has a different general category from the first respondent, then consider the first respondent with a different general category to be the second respondent.

OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM.
The plaintiffs, Mae and Peter Giordano, husband and wife, were involved in a collision with a truck driven by the defendant McCartney on the business of the corporate defendants. Damages were sought primarily for injuries suffered by Mae Giordano. Peter Giordano sought damages for medical expenses resulting from his wife’s injuries, the repair of his automobile, and for loss of consortium. A third party action was filed by the defendants against Peter Giordano.
At the trial a critical issue arose as to whether the plaintiff vehicle was driven by Mae or. Peter Giordano at the time of the accident. This issue was resolved in favor of the corporate defendants. In response to special interrogatories, Fed.Rules Civ.Proc. 49(a), the jury found that Mae Giordano was the driver of the plaintiff vehicle and that she and the defendant McCartney had been jointly negligent. Judgment was entered accordingly.
Plaintiffs appealed from the trial court’s denial of their motion for a new trial, made pursuant to Fed.Rules Civ. Proc. 60(b) and grounded on an allegation of newly discovered evidence. The alleged newly discovered evidence is contained in two affidavits given by the defendant McCartney, fifteen and twenty-three days after the jury verdict, stating that Peter Giordano and not Mae was driving plaintiff vehicle. McCartney, an out-of-state resident, was not present at trial although all parties had listed him as a prospective witness. Defense counsel, after numerous unsuccessful attempts had been unable to ascertain his whereabouts and produce him for depositions. As a result an order was entered precluding any party from calling him as a witness. On October 8, 1965, some five months prior to the commencement of the trial of this matter counsel, who had been representing all three defendants, was granted leave to withdraw as counsel for McCartney. The same counsel continued to represent the corporate defendants.
A motion for relief under Rule 60(b) is directed to the sound discretion of the trial court and its exercise of that discretion will not be disturbed unless there was a clear abuse. Brown v. Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 282 F.2d 522, 527 (3rd Cir. 1960), cert. denied 365 U.S. 818, 81 S.Ct. 690, 5 L.Ed.2d 696; Wagner v. Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 282 F.2d 392, 397-398 (3rd Cir. 1960); Neville v. American Barge Line Company, 218 F.2d 190, 191 (3rd Cir. 1954). To entitle a party to a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence it must appear that the evidence is not merely cumulative, that it could not have been discovered prior to trial through the exercise of reasonable diligence, and that the evidence is such as would probably change the outcome. Philippine National Bank v. Kennedy, 111 U.S.App.D.C. 199, 295 F.2d 544, 545 (1961); English v. Mattson, 214 F.2d 406, 409 (5th Cir. 1954); 7 Moore, Federal Practice ¶ 60.23 [4] at 243 (2nd ed.1966); Cf. United States v. Rutkin, 208 F.2d 647, 649 (3rd Cir. 1953). The proffered testimony of McCartney clearly failed to meet the test of newly discovered evidence.
We have carefully studied the record and are of the opinion that there was no abuse of discretion by the trial court. Plaintiffs have not satisfactorily explained why no attempt was made to locate and question McCartney after his attorney had withdrawn and prior to trial. The ease and speed with which he was found subsequent to trial demonstrates that with the exercise of reasonable diligence he could have been interviewed prior to trial. In addition, any testimony by McCartney would be cumulative to that of the plaintiffs and to his tacit admission which appears in Officer Canone’s testimony. Because of its cumulative nature its effect at a second trial could not be considered problematic.
The order of the District Court will be affirmed.
