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 which of these categories best describes the income of the litigant. Consider the following categories: "not ascertained", "poor + wards of state" (e.g., patients at state mental hospital; not prisoner unless specific indication that poor), "presumed poor" (e.g., migrant farm worker), "presumed wealthy" (e.g., high status job - like medical doctors, executives of corporations that are national in scope, professional athletes in the NBA or NFL; upper 1/5 of income bracket), "clear indication of wealth in opinion", "other - above poverty line but not clearly wealthy" (e.g., public school teachers, federal government employees)." Note that "poor" means below the federal poverty line; e.g., welfare or food stamp recipients. There must be some specific indication in the opinion that you can point to before anyone is classified anything other than "not ascertained". Prisoners filing "pro se" were classified as poor, but litigants in civil cases who proceed pro se were not presumed to be poor. Wealth obtained from the crime at issue in a criminal case was not counted when determining the wealth of the criminal defendant (e.g., drug dealers).

Opinion:
Willis A. SMITH, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
No. 20949.
United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit.
Feb. 12, 1968.
Stephen Adams (argued) of Adams & Adams, San Francisco, Cal., for appellant.
Robert L. Brosio (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Chief, Criminal Division, William Byrne, Jr., U. S. Atty., Anthony Michael Glassman, Asst. U. S. Atty., Los An-geles, Cal., for appellee.
Before CHAMBERS, POPE and MERRILL, Circuit Judges.
CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge:
In this narcotics conviction here on appeal, we have one substantial issue: Was there reversible error in the trial court’s denial of a motion for a bill of particulars? Smith wanted a bill telling him the name of the government’s informer.
In the context of this case, he was entitled to know, although it is not every case where the information must be given. Aguilar v. United States, 9 Cir., 363 F.2d 379. However, two days before trial, the government advised defense counsel of the name of the informer. The informer was called by the defense and testified. Much of the informer’s testimony was favorable to the defendant. How in the sequence there was any prejudice, one cannot find. We find no offense to Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S. 53, 77 S.Ct. 623, 1 L.Ed.2d 639. See Sorren-tino v. United States, 9 Cir., 163 F.2d 627, and Sartain v. United States, 9 Cir., 303 F.2d 859.
Error is asserted in failure to grant a continuance. We can’t find that it was ever requested. Requests for recesses were granted.
We find no abuse of discretion or reversible error in the instructions.
The contention of lack of competent counsel at trial is without merit. We cannot say that the representation was a mockery. In fact, we agree with the trial judge that the defendant was well represented. The frequency of this charge on appeals does point out the occupational hazard of defending such cases as this.
The judgment is affirmed.
