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 "private business and its executives". 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.

I. Divorce <§=222—Allowance of wife’s attorney’s fees by supplemental decree after granting, of divorce to husband held proper.
: ■ Where court, on granting husband divorce on grounds of adultery, and holding similar charges by wife unfounded, reserved for further consideration matter of defendant wife’s 'aftorüe^’s' feesi. ftcid,-under Code, § 975, court did not lose authority to allow attorney’s fees by supplemental decree, nor was such allowance irregular, because husband had prevailed, or because wife’s defense on issue of adultery necessarily served as defense of corespondent named by husband, who was represented by same attorney.
2. Divorce <§=189—Court may not impose on corespondent named by husband payment of counsel fees for wife as party to case.
In husband’s divorce action on ground of adultery, court may not impose on corespondent named payment of counsel fees for defendant wife as party to case.
Appeal from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
Suit for divorce on ground of adultery by Samuel N. Myers against Victoria Myers, with Cecil D. Alley as corespondent, wherein the wife by cross-bill sought divorce on same ground. The court on final decree granted the husband a divorce on the ground charged, and held the wife’s charges against the husband wholly unsustained by evidence, but reserved matter of wife’s attorney’s fees for further consideration, and by supplemental decree fixed amount thereof, from which decree plaintiff appeals.
Affirmed.
F. E. Elder, of Washington, D. C., for appellant.
R. E.. J. Whalen, of Washington, D. C., for appellees.
Before MARTIN, Chief . Justice, amp. ROBB and VAN ORSDEL, Associate Justices.
MARTIN, Chief Justice.
In the lower court Samuel N. Myers filed a petition for a divorce from his wife, Victoria Myers, upon the ground of adultery, naming Cecil D. Alley as corespondent. The wife answered, denying the charge, and by way of cross-bill charged her husband with adultery, praying for a divorce from him upon that ground. The .husband answered the- cross-bill with a denial, and the several corespondents filed similar denials. The trial court heard the testimony and granted an absolute divorce to the husband upon the ground charged in the petition, at the same time holding that the charges of the wife against her husband were wholly unsustained by the evidence.
When the cross-bill was filed, the wife presented a motion praying the court to require her husband to pay her alimony pendente lite, and also a reasonable sum for suit money, including counsel fees. The record does not directly disclose what disposition.: was made of this motion, but apparently the demand for alimony pendente lite was denied, and the determination of suit money and counsel fees was taken under advisement. The final decree contains the following statement, to wit, “It is further ordered that the matter of fees of Robert E. J. Whalen, attorney of record for the defendant in this case, together with costs, shall be in abeyance pending further consideration by the court.” Afterwards the court entered a supplemental decree, reciting the fact that theretofore the question of making proper allowance for counsel foes to the attorney of the defendant, and for expenses incident to the trial of the case, had been reserved for further consideration, and now ordering that the plaintiff should pay to the attorney of record for the defendant the sum of $500 as fees for services rendei'ed in behalf of the defendant, Victoria P. Myers, and in addition should pay the sum of $265.26 to cover the expenses incidont to her defense. The plaintiff appealed from that decree.
We find no error in the action of the lower court. Under section 975, D. C. Code, the court was authorized to require the husband to pay suit money to the wife, including counsel fees, to enable her to conduct her caso. The court did not lose that authority when it seasonably took the matter under advisement, for the cause was still pending when the supplemental decree was entered. Nor was the allowance irregular because of the fact that the husband had prevailed at the trial of the issue. The wife was entitled to present her case, and the court may compel a husband to pay counsel fees for the wife, while refusing because of her misconduct to compel the payment of alimony. Scott v. Scott, 8 Pa. Dist. R. 548; Pratz v. Pratz, 11 Pa. Co. Ct. Rep. 252; Miller v. Miller, 19 Phila. Rep. 329. The procedure adopted in the present ease was within the discretion of the court. Neither was the court’s authority affected by the fact that the wife’s defense upon the issue of adultery necessarily served as a defense of the corespondent, and that the same attorney represented both at the trial. The allowance was specifically made to the attorney because of services rendered to the wife only, and the court was able to make a proper estimate of the value of such services. There is nothing in the record to suggest a mistake, much less an abuse of discretion, upon the part of the lower court in its determination of the amount of the allowance.
It may he added that, by analogy with Eichelhorger v. Symons, 288 F. 654, 53 App. D. C. 116, the court was not entitled to impose upon the corespondent the payment of counsel fees for the wife as a party in the case.
The decree is affirmed, with costs.
