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.

BRYAN V. FUMIO ARAI.
No. 7004.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
May 3, 1933.
Sanford B. D. Wood, U. S. Atty., and John Albert Matthewman, First Asst. U. S. Atty., both of Honolulu, Hawaii, and I. M. Peckham, U. S. Atty., and R. B. McMillan, Asst. U. S. Atty., both of San Francisco, Cal. (Arthur J. Phelan, U. S. Immigration Service, of San Francisco, Cal., on the brief), for appellant.
Frank E. Thompson and M. K. Ashford, both of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Grant II. Smith, of San Francisco, Cal., for appellee.
Before WILBUR, SAWTELLE, and MACK, Circuit Judges.
“The transcript oí the petition, writ of habeas corpus, return thereto', pleadings, motions, evidence a.nd proceedings and orders therein shall be presented for allowance and the appeal perfected within ten days after the final decisivo is rendered.”
MACK, Circuit Judge.
A majority of the Board of Special Inquiry voted to admit appellee; on a dissenting member’s appeal to the Secretary of Labor, taken under Act of February 5, 1917, c. 29, § 17, 39 Stat. 887, U. S. C. title 8, § 153 (8 USCA § 153), appellee was ordered excluded.
In the District Court, on the hearing pursuant to an order to show cause why the writ of habeas corpus should not issue, appellee was ordered discharged from the custody of the immigration authorities.. On this appeal, an interesting question is presented as to the scope of the reviewing power of the Secretary of Labor in the above stated circumstances. Wo are, however, precluded from considering any question on the merits of the controversy, because we must sustain appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal.
Appellee’s contention, in which we concur, is that since the petition for allowance of appeal was presented and the appeal perfected, not within the ten days provided by rule 126 of the Hawaiian court hut one day short of ninety days after the decision and entry of the order thereon, this court cannot entertain the appeal.
1. Appellant argues that the rule is no longer valid, and therefore of no effect here, because the Act of February 13, 1925, c. 229, § 8 (e), by implication, though not expressly, repealed Rev. St. § 765, under which the rule was made; that, consequently, the three-month period of the later statute now governs. In our judgment, however, this general statute did not affeet the earlier statutory provisions for appeals in habeas corpus. Inasmuch as the provisions of Rev. St. § 765 (28 USCA § 464) are specially designed with reference to the character of habeas corpus (see Roberts v. Reilly, 116 U. S. 80, 92, 6 S. Ct. 291, 29 L. Ed. 544 [1885]), an intent to repeal this section cannot fairly be imputed to Congress.
“Implied repeals are not favored, and if effect can reasonably be given to both statutes the presumption is that the earlier is intended to remain in force.” United States v. Burroughs, 53 S. Ct. 574, 577, 77 L. Ed. -, April 10, 1933.
Appellant also urges that even if Rev. St. § 765 is still effective, fairly interpreted, it does not authorize rules limiting the time for appeal. In view of the opinion in Roberts v. Reilly, supra, at pages 92, 93 of 116 U. S., 6 S. Ct. 291, we deem this contention without merit.
2. As the court had .deliberately, by the rule, fixed tbe time for taking an appeal, the “judge hearing the cause” was without power, after the ten days, to allow an appeal. And the fact that he did thereafter sign the order of allowance, evidently inadvertently and without intention to abrogate the rule, cannot in any event be deemed an attempt to exercise the statutory power of prescribing the terms of an appeal.
3. The first order allowing the appeal and the issuance of the citation perfected the appeal inasmuch as no bond was required of this appellant; this court thereupon became vested with jurisdiction to determine whether or not the appeal was duly and legally allowed and perfected. Our conclusion that the appeal must be dismissed because taken too late, determines that we are without jurisdiction to consider on the merits the original final order of the District Court discharging appellee [Von Holt v. Carter, 56 F.(2d) 61 (C. C. A. 9, 1932)], and leaves that order in full force and effect.
4. The order, however, had a later history in the District Court. After the appeal had been perfected and after the term of court had passed, appellee moved the District Court to recall its order allowing the appeal and to dismiss the appeal. The court entered an order granting the motion as prayed for. Appellant thereupon petitioned for, was allowed and perfected a single appeal, both from this last order and from the original final order discharging appellee.
As that appeal was allowed more than three months after the original order of discharge, it must under all circumstances, be dismissed in so far as it seeks a review of that order.
As an appeal from the order of the District Court recalling the allowance of an appeal and dismissing that appeal, it will likewise be dismissed, because, regardless of whether or not the District Court bad jurisdiction to consider tbe motion after tbe appeal to this court, though allowed too late, had been perfected, cf. Draper v. Davis, 102 U. S. 370, 26 L. Ed. 121 (1880); Keyser v. Farr, 105 U. S. 265, 26 L. Ed. 1025 (1881); see too Rothschild & Co. v. Marshall, 51 F.(2d) 897, 900 (C. C. A. 9, 1931); Union Guardian Trust Co. v. Jastromb, 47 F.(2d) 689 (C. C. A. 6, 1931); Levinson v. United States, 32 F.(2d) 449 (C. C. A. 6, 1929), the order left the original order of discharge in full effect. This result follows too from our dismissal of the original appeal. That original order would in no way be affected whether we reversed or affirmed the later order of the District Court. The appeal therefrom thus calls for no determination.
Appeals dismissed.
43 Stat. 940, U. S. C. title 28, § 230 (28 USCA § 230).

C., title 28, § 464 28 USCA § 464]).
