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.
Note that if an individual is listed by name, but their appearance in the case is as a government official, then they should be counted as a government rather than as a private person. For example, in the case "Billy Jones & Alfredo Ruiz v Joe Smith" where Smith is a state prisoner who brought a civil rights suit against two of the wardens in the prison (Jones & Ruiz), the following values should be coded: number of appellants that fall into the category "natural persons" =0 and number that fall into the category "state governments, their agencies, and officials" =2. A similar logic should be applied to businesses and associations. Officers of a company or association whose role in the case is as a representative of their company or association should be coded as being a business or association rather than as a natural person. However, employees of a business or a government who are suing their employer should be coded as natural persons. Likewise, employees who are charged with criminal conduct for action that was contrary to the company policies should be considered natural persons.
If the title of a case listed a corporation by name and then listed the names of two individuals that the opinion indicated were top officers of the same corporation as the appellants, then the number of appellants should be coded as three and all three were coded as a business (with the identical detailed code). Similar logic should be applied when government officials or officers of an association were listed by name.
Your specific task is to determine the total number of appellants in the case that fall into the category "fiduciaries". If the total number cannot be determined (e.g., if the appellant is listed as "Smith, et. al." and the opinion does not specify who is included in the "et.al."), then answer 99.

Opinion:
HUNTEMAN v. NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC SERVICE, Inc., et al.
No. 9644.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
May 2, 1941.
Rehearing Denied May 31, 1941.
James W. Hopkins, of New Orleans, La., for appellant.
Alvin R. Christovitch and William W. Ogden, both of New Orleans, La., for ap-pellees.
Joseph M. Jones, of New Orleans, La., for amicus curiae.
Before FOSTER, HUTCHESON, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges!
HOLMES, Circuit Judge.
Henry Hunteman was fatally injured while working as a subcontractor on a construction project in New Orleans, Louisiana. Plis surviving widow and children brought this suit for damages against New Orleans Public Service, Inc., Arthur J. Rife, and the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, alleging that the injury resulted from their joint and concurrent negligence, and asking judgment in solido against them.
The court below granted the motion of New Orleans Public Service, Inc., to dismiss the suit, as against it, on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. This appeal was taken from that judgment of dismissal, and is met in this court with a motion to dismiss on the ground that the judgment appealed from lacks the finality necessary to confer jurisdiction upon this court, since the action against the other defendants was not disposed of by the judgment but is still awaiting trial in the court below.
The question thus posed, whether this court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal, must be answered in the negative upon the authority of Menge v. Warriner, 5 Cir., 120 F. 816, General Electric Co. v. Allis-Chalmers Co., 3 Cir., 194 F. 413, and Hohorst v. Hamburg-American Packet Co., 148 U.S. 262, 13 S.Ct. 590, 37 L.Ed. 443. An order, judgment, or decree dismissing one defendant and leaving, for the future disposition of the court, the same controversy as to others who are charged to be jointly liable with him, is not a final decision which will support an appeal to this court under Section 128 of the Judicial Code, as amended. 28 U.S.C.A. § 225, 43 Stat. 936. When a final decree is rendered which determines the rights of all the parties to the controversy, and which, upon affirmance, would leave nothing to be done by the court below except to execute the decree, then, and not before, may an appeal properly be taken.
These principles do not conflict with the letter or spirit of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The rules are not intended to affect the jurisdiction of the district courts with whose procedure they deal; they do not affect the jurisdiction of the, appellate courts to which they are not directed. By seeking a judgment in solido against several defendants charged to be jointly and concurrently negligent, we think appellant presented but one claim for determination between the parties. When a judgment is entered which puts an end to that controversy between all of the parties litigant, appellate jurisdiction may be invoked.
By entering the order, a case involving one cause of action was divided into two sections, the one dormant and the other active. This may be unfortunate. The trial of the whole cause may already have been delayed by this attempt to appeal; and, if the case goes to trial between the remaining litigants, the resulting judgment may be set aside on appeal if the motion to dismiss was erroneously granted to New Orleans Public Service, Inc. It might have been better to overrule the motion to dismiss and permit the whole case to progress to its proper disposition, but this was for the district court to determine. It may yet set aside the order of dismissal and reinstate the action as to the New Orleans Public Service, Inc. The entire case is still in the district court and subject to its control. There being no final judgment, the appeal is dismissed.
