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").

Opinion:
William Foy TURPIN, Appellant, v. Beryle C. SACKS, Warden, Ohio Penitentiary, Appellee.
No. 14400.
United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit.
June 2, 1961.
Stephen Cohen, (court-appointed), Cincinnati, Ohio (William F. Turpin, in pro. per. on the brief), for appellant.
Aubrey Wendt, Columbus, Ohio (Mark McElroy, Atty. Gen. of Ohio, John J. Connors, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., on the brief), for appellee.
Before MILLER, Chief Judge, and MARTIN and WEICK, Circuit Judges.
ORDER.
This is an appeal from an order denying appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. We find no certificate of probable cause in the record; but, even if there were such certificate, no merit inheres in the points urged by appellant for reversal of his conviction and sentence.
Appellant was found guilty in a State Court of Stark County, Ohio, on three counts of an indictment, charging (1) that he induced a female under eighteen years of age to have sexual intercourse with a person other than himself; (a) that he induced the same female to enter a house of assignation for the purpose of prostitution; and (3) that he harbored her for the purposes of prostitution: All in violation of Ohio law. The Court of Common Pleas, in which appellant was tried and convicted, had undoubted jurisdiction; and the sentence pronounced upon him was within the limits authorized by Ohio law.
No appropriate jurisdictional question is presented for consideration on petition for habeas corpus. Appellant’s correct procedure was to seek remedy on appeal. Habeas corpus is not the proper remedy to obtain release from custody, unless the sentencing court was without jurisdiction, or the sentence was, in legal effect, null and void. In re Burson, 152 Ohio St. 375, 89 N.E.2d 651; In re Levenson, 154 Ohio St. 278, 95 N.E.2d 760; Henry v. Alvis, 162 Ohio St. 62, 120 N.E.2d 588. It is well settled that habeas corpus may not be used properly as a substitute for appeal.
Appellant makes fruitless argument that, unless an Ohio indictment is couched in language of Form 246, Schneider’s Criminal Code, it is null and void. Obviously, it is not mandatory that the suggested form be used. Section 2941.05, Revised Code of Ohio, states: “In an indictment or information charging an offense, each count * shall contain, and it is sufficient if it contains in substance, a statement that the accused has committed some public offense therein specified. * * * ” By pleading “not guilty” and going to trial, appellant waived any uncertainty in his indictment. State of Ohio v. Schultz, 96 Ohio St. 114, 117 N.E. 30.
The order of the United States District Court denying the writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.
