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:
Endre NIELSEN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CHARLES KURZ & CO., Inc., DefendantAppellee.
No. 43, Docket 26839.
United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
Argued Oct. 11, 1961.
Decided Oct. 31, 1961.
Charles A. Ellis, New York City (Silas B. Axtell, New York City, on the brief), for plaintiff-appellant.
Thomas Coyne, of Kirlin, Campbell & Keating, New York City, for defendantappellee.
Before CLARK, WATERMAN, and MOORE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff, a seaman suing a shipowner for damages for personal injuries sustained on shipboard, has had the misfortune to have his course barred by a jury verdict for the defendant after a trial which we find to have been fair. While there was some evidence tending to show negligence or unseaworthiness of the ship, it was not conclusive; moreover, the plaintiff cannot now attack the verdict as based on insufficient evidence, since he failed to make a motion for a directed verdict. Contorno v. Flota Mercante Grancolombiana S.A., 2 Cir., 278 F.2d 719. His chief attack is upon the judge’s charge, various portions of which he wrenches from context to give an appearance of error. Viewed as a whole we think the charge appropriate. Doubtless the wording could have been improved here and there, but the general submission to the jury was fair. Moreover, plaintiff did not aid the judge at the time by pointing out objections now pressed'; his sole objection to the charge was on an insignificant detail as to the judge’s recital of the facts. His present criticisms are not of such kind as to justify overlooking the requirement of Fed.R.Civ.P. 51 of timely objection.
Since the jury never reached the question of damages and the evidence was at most cumulative, the exclusion of the seven photographs showing plaintiff lying in a hospital after his injury was not error. Mirabile v. New York Central R. Co., 2 Cir., 230 F.2d 498, 500.
Affirmed.
