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:
BUREN v. SOUTHERN PAC. CO.
No. 6249.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
May 8, 1931.
Thomas F. McCue and Clifton Hildebrand, both of San Francisco, Cal., for appellant.
Guy V. Shoup and Dunne, Dunne & Cook, all of San Francisco, Cal., for appellee.
Before RUDKIN, WILBUR, and SAW-TELLE, Circuit Judges.
WILBUR, Circuit Judge.
Appellant was employed by the appellee railroad-company as a brakeman. On August 6th he was engaged in running a freight train from San Francisco east. At Port Costa the train was run onto the Southern Pacific Company’s ferryboat Solano, and was ferried across the Carquinez Straits to Beni-cia. It was the duty of the appellant to tighten the brakes on the ears when they were run onto the ferryboat and to loosen them as they were about to be run off the boat. On arriving at Benicia, appellant climbed on top of a box car to loosen the brake, and while he was standing thereon the engine attached to the ear moved forward, and appellant’s head was struck against a steel girder extending athwart-ships for the purpose of strengthening the ferryboat. The accident occurred during the darkness, and appellant predicates his right of action against the Southern Pacific Company upon the alleged'negligenee of the company in failing to warn him of the overhead girder which caused the injury. Demurrer was sustained to the complaint, and thereafter appellant amended his complaint by alleging that he was acting as a brakeman at the time of his injury and that the ferryboat was employed entirely for transferring the Southern Pacific Company’s trains across the Carquinez Straits. The boat was not otherwise engaged in trade or commerce, but was used solely as part of the appellee’s railroad system to transport its trains over said straits.
It was alleged that appellee had secured the payment of compensation to its employees falling within the purview of the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (44 Stat. 1424, 33 USCA §§ 901-950). The demurrer was sustained to the complaint as amended and judgment of dismissal entered, from whieh appellant takes this appeal.
The sole question involved in the appeal is whether or not the act above referred to applied to the appellant at the time and place of the injury. We are unable to distinguish the case in principle from that dealt with by the Supreme Court of the United States in Nogueira v. N. Y., etc., R. Co., 281 U. S. 128, 50 S. Ct. 303, 74 L. Ed. 754, where the subject was treated exhaustively. In that ease the injured employee was engaged in moving freight by hand truck onto a freight car on a float whieh was used by the railroad company in transporting its loaded freight cars upon the navigable waters in and about New York. It is there held that the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (45 USCA §§ 51-59), relied upon by the appellant in this case as the basis for his- recovery, did not apply, and that the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, above cited, did apply to the injury in question. There seems to be no difference in principle between loading freight onto a- car upon a lighter or ferry and moving a loaded freight car onto a ferryboat or lighter. In either case, where those so engaged are injured by accident, the locus of the accident is upon navigable waters, and this is the test of admiralty jurisdiction in cases of tort. In London Guarantee & Accident Co. v. Industrial Accident Comm., 279 U. S. 109, 123, 49 S. Ct. 296, 300, 73 L. Ed. 632, it is said: “It is clearly established that the jurisdiction of the admiralty over a maritime tort does not depend upon the wrong having been committed on board a vessel, but rather upon its having been committed upon the high seas or other navigable waters. The Plymouth, 3 Wall. 20, 18 L. Ed. 125; Atlantic T. Co. v. Imbrovek, 234 U. S. 52, 59, 60, 34 S. Ct. 733, 58 L. Ed. 1208, 51 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1157.” See, also, State Industrial Comm. of State of New York v. Nordenholt, 259 U. S. 263, 42 S. Ct. 473, 66 L. Ed. 933, 25 A. L. R. 10-13.
While the ordinary duties of the appellant were performed upon land, his employment, according to the allegation of the complaint, required him to assist in the loading and unloading of the freight ears upon the ferryboat, and it was while he was so engaged that he was injured.
Appellant bases his contention as to the application of the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (45 USCA §§ 51-59) in the case at bar in part upon a misquotation, no doubt inadvertent, of an act of Congress (33 USCA § 901 note) amending the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (33 USCA § 901 et seq.). This act, by its terms, is expressly limited to employees in the District of Columbia. Section 2 of the act,limits its applicability, even in the District of Columbia, but has no application in the ease of railroad employees injured outside the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court in Nogueira v. N. Y., etc., R. Co., 281 U. S. 128, 50 S. Ct. 303, 74 L. Ed. 754, supra, calls attention to the fact that this exception of an employee of a common carrier engaged in interstate or foreign commerce solely within the District of Columbia seems to indicate that, in the opinion of Congress, the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act does apply to such employees outside the District in eases of maritime tort.
Appellant’s remedy for the injury suffered is to be found under the provisions of the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. Our attention has been called to a decision of the United States Employees’ Compensation Commission designated to carry out the provisions of that act holding that the aet applies to trainmen who ride locomotives and cars on and off ferries, and who, while on said ferries, couple and uncouple cars, or set and release ear brakes (Op. No. 29, issued January 29, 1928).
Judgment affirmed.
SAWTELLE, Circuit Judge, concurs.
