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 the gender of this litigant. Use names to classify the party's sex only if there is little ambiguity (e.g., the sex of "Chris" should be coded as "not ascertained").

Murray H. INGALLS, Appellant, v. Eugene M. ZUCKERT, Secretary of the Air Force, Appellee.
No. 16788.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued Oct. 11, 1962.
Decided Oct. 25, 1962.
Mr. Donald H. Dalton, Washington, D. C., for appellant.
Mr. Daniel A. Rezneck, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Messrs. David C. Acheson, U. S. Atty., and Nathan J. Paulson, Asst. U. S. Atty. at the time the brief was filed, were on the brief, for appellee. Mr. Frank Q. Nebeker, Asst. U. S. Atty., also entered an appearance for appellee.
Before Edgerton, Burger and Wright, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, an Air Force major with 14 years’ service and an outstanding war record, was given the choice under Air Force Regulation 35-66 of resigning for the good of the service or facing a general court martial. Acting without counsel in the 72 hours allowed him, he chose to resign. Alleging failure on the part of the Air Force to afford him “the opportunity of consulting legal counsel regarding the advisability of submitting [his] resignation,” he asks this court to reverse the summary judgment granted below denying him reinstatement.
Air Force Regulation 35-66, at least by implication, required that appellant be afforded the opportunity to consult with legal counsel before making his decision. Failure to comply with its own regulation would render appellant’s resignation void. On this question, the «evidence now of record presents a factual issue Consequently, summary judgment was improvidently granted.
In view of this disposition, we do not jeach the other issues raised by appellant. Respondent’s laches defense is without merit.
Reversed.

. This language is in the form letter (Attachment 3, AFR 36-12) required by AFR 35-66 (July 23, 1956) to be used in submitting a resignation under that regulation. Appellant signed this form letter including the statement that he had “been afforded the opportunity.” An amendment to AFR 35-66 requiring the appointment of counsel, though promulgated before appellant’s resignation was accepted, did not become effective until five days later.
