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:
Jesse McWHORTER, Appellant, v. Robert KENNEDY, United States Attorney General ex rel. Russell O. SETTLE, Warden, United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, Appellee.
No. 17124.
United States Court of Appeals ■ Eighth Circuit.
Dec. 6, 1963.
Jesse McWhorter, pro se.
F. Russell Millin, U. S. Atty., Kansas City, Mo., Calvin K. Hamilton and John L. Kapnistos, Asst. U. S. Attys., Kansas City, Mo., were on the brief, for appellee.
Before JOHNSEN, Chief Judge, and MATTHES and RIDGE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant is under a federal 20-year sentence for armed bank robbery, imposed by the District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in 1955. He is presently confined in the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, Springfield, Missouri.
Following his commitment on the sentence, the State of Ohio issued a warrant against him on a state charge and lodged a copy thereof with the federal prison authorities as a detainer. From 1956 on, appellant has made demands upon the State that the charge be presented to a grand jury for indictment, and that if an indictment should be returned he be granted a prompt trial thereon. These demands have all been refused or ignored' by the State, although the Director of the-Bureau of Prisons has informed appellant that “he will be produced to face-these charges if and when the state authorities indicate their intention to proceed with the prosecution and complete-the necessary arrangement”.
On this situation, appellant instituted a suit in the District Court for the Western District of Missouri, seeking to-obtain a declaratory judgment or a mandatory injunction against the Attorney General of the United States, for the purpose of having him take some action in relation to the matter. Appellant's theories and contentions were that the State-of Ohio was improperly denying him access to its courts; that it was depriving-him of a speedy trial contrary to the-guarantee of the Sixth Amendment; that-the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was thereby being violated against him; and that the Attorney General in the circumstances had the duty of stepping in and undertaking to secure-redress and vindication of appellant’s constitutional rights for him.
The District Court made denial of the petition on its face, for want of jurisdiction to grant the relief sought. This disposition clearly was proper and must be-affirmed. There is no statute which purports to impose any such mandatory duty upon the Attorney General, nor has it. ever been regarded that any such mandatory duty was inherent in the nature and powers of his office.
This is as far as it is necessary to go here. The courts are without authority to direct a public officer to take any action which he does not have a legal; duty to perform.
Whether Congress could constitutionally require, under the speedy trial guarantee of the Sixth Amendment, that a State make disposition of a charge on which it has lodged a detainer against a. federal prisoner, there is no occasion for us to consider.
It should be added that our holding here is in accord with our recent decision in Crow v. United States, 8 Cir., 323 F.2d 888. There, a state prisoner sought to compel the United States to make disposition of a federal charge, on which a complaint had been filed, a warrant issued, and a detainer lodged against him with the state prison authorities. We ■upheld the District Court’s refusal to require the United States to take any such -action in the situation, and made this comment (p. 891):
“If the appellant is hereafter arrest-ad, informed against or indicted with -respect to the federal charge * *, "the way remains open for him to move for a dismissal upon the .•grounds that his right to a speedy trial has been violated upon the basis ■of the facts as they may then appear”.
Affirmed.
