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:
Ernest L. MEDINA, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. TIME, INC., Defendant, Appellee.
No. 7773.
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
March 23, 1971.
Gerald Alch, Boston, Mass., with whom F. Lee Bailey, Boston, Mass., was on brief, for plaintiff, appellant.
Robert W. Meserve, Boston, Mass., with whom Gordon L. Doerfer, Nutter, McClennen & Fish, Boston, Mass., Harold R. Medina, Jr., and Cravath, Swaine & Moore, New York City, were on brief, for defendant, appellee.
Before ALDRICH, Chief Judge, Mc-ENTEE and COFFIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
This appeal from the granting of defendant’s motion for summary judgment raises a very narrow issue for our consideration: was there any genuine issue of material fact that defendant, Time Magazine, in publishing statements of others concerning plaintiff’s participation in the My Lai tragedy and commenting thereupon, asserted the truth of facts contained in the statements? The district court answered this question in the negative, 319 F.Supp. 398, and we affirm that determination.
Plaintiff’s appellate argument was directed at demonstrating that the “actual malice” test of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S.Ct. 710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686 (1964), and its progeny, was met sufficiently to avoid summary judgment. Oral argument narrowed to a single contention; that Time after publishing the statement of one Pendle-ton, accusing Medina of killing a “little boy”, asserted the truth of the facts therein by stating:
“The biggest mystery so far is why no charges have been placed against Captain Medina, who played an important role in the slaughter by the accounts of a number of his men, though exactly what orders he issued is disputed.”
Perhaps so starkly stated there is room for accepting plaintiff’s interpretation. But a reading of the long article as a whole clearly shows such not to be the case. The quoted statement is taken totally out of context. It follows an extended discussion of other statements implicating him and of charges placed against other participants at My Lai, and, seen in this light, questions only the disparity of treatment as between him and others rather than asserting the accuracy of the accounts published.
The plaintiff does not claim the Time article “truncated or distorted” the statements it reported. Cf. Greenbelt Cooperative Pub. Ass’n v. Bresler, 398 U.S. 6, 13, 90 S.Ct. 1537, 26 L.Ed.2d 6 (1970). Conceding this lack of “falsification”, the plaintiff’s cause of action insofar as it relates to reporting the statements of others must fail as insufficient to sustain a jury finding of “actual malice”. Time, Inc. v. Pape, 401 U.S. 279, 91 S.Ct. 633, 636, 28 L.Ed.2d 45.
Affirmed.
