Task: songer_appel1_1_3

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 "private business (including criminal enterprises)". Your task is to determine what category of business best describes the area of activity of this litigant which is involved in this case.

PER CURIAM.
This appeal from an order entered on October 18, 1939, by the District Court for the District of Delaware making an allowance of compensation to the appellants as counsel for an independent stockholders’ committee in a proceeding for the reorganization of Donahoe’s, Incorporated, and Geo. K. Stevenson Company, debtors, under Chapter X of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 501 et seq., was taken by the appellants filing their notice of appeal in the District Court on November 15, 1939. The appeal was docketed in this court on December 28, 1939. No application, however, was made to this court for the allowance of the appeal as required by Section 250 of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 650, and on January 12, 1940, counsel for the debtor moved for that reason to dismiss the appeal. Action upon the motion to dismiss has been withheld pending a decision by the Supreme Court in the case of Dickinson Industrial Site, Inc., v. Cowan, where the identical question here presented was involved. A decision in that case has now been handed down (60 S.Ct. 595, 84 L.Ed.-) and on the authority thereof the motion must be granted.
The appeal is dismissed.
