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 citizenship of this litigant as indicated in the opinion.

Opinion:
GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA CO. v. JONES.
No. 5956.
United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.
Argued Oct. 7, 1949.
Decided Oct. 10, 1949.
J. E. Belser, Jr., Columbia, S.C., for appellant.
Henry H. Edens, Columbia, S.C. (Henry Hammer, Columbia, S.C., on the brief), for appellee.
Before PARKER, Chief Judge, and SOPER, and DOBIE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
This appeal is taken from a judgment of the District Court in a case tried without a jury wherein the District Judge found that injuries suffered by the plaintiff in the defendant’s store were caused by the carelessness of one of its employees. Under Rule 52(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A., the findings of the District Judge in such a suit may not be set aside unless clearly erroneous.
In our opinion, the conclusion reached by the District Judge was clearly correct. He made in effect the following findings of fact which were fully supported by the evidence. On the occasion of the accident the plaintiff, an elderly woman, was a customer in the store when an employee in the course of his work pushed a truck, mounted on four small wheels and loaded with three cases of oil each weighing twenty-five pounds, to a point near the plaintiff and behind her and slightly to her right. The employee then without observing the plaintiff started to unload the truck and in doing so one of the cases was dislodged and fell upon the plaintiff’s ankle causing painful and serious injuries. From these findings the Judge reached the inevitable conclusion that the injuries were due to the failure of the employee to use due care.
The plaintiff had no warning before she was struck and the employee was unable to explain how the case fell upon her ankle. The defendant therefore contends that the plaintiff’s cause must fail because the courts of South Carolina do not recognize the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Gilland v. Peter’s Dry Cleaning Co., 195 S.C. 417, 11 S.E.2d 857. It is plain, however, that there is no need for the plaintiff to rely on this doctrine in this case because the evidence clearly shows that the accident was caused by the action of the employee in unloading the truck, and that the fall of the heavy case must have been due to his negligence.
At the conclusion of the testimony the judge permitted the plaintiff, over the objection of the defendant, to amend her complaint to show that she was injured not by being run into by the truck, as alleged in the original complaint, but by the fall of the case during the process of unloading the truck, as shown by the testimony of tne defendant’s employee. This ruling of the court was clearly in harmony with Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Gvil Procedure which ' provide that leave to amend shall be freely given when justice so requires. The defendant was not taken by surprise by the amendment for the new matter was furnished by its own witness.
The judgment of the District Court is
Affirmed.
