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:
Anthony Joseph MUNICH, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
No. 19991.
United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit.
July 26, 1966.
See also, 9 Cir., 330 F.2d 774.
S. Carter McMorris, Sacramento, Cal., for appellant.
Cecil F. Poole, U. S. Atty., Jerrold M. Ladar, Asst. U. S. Atty., Rothwell B. Mason, Asst. U. S. Atty., San Francisco, Cal., for appellee.
Before CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge, MADDEN, Judge of the United States Court of Claims, and HAMLEY, Circuit Judge.
CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge:
Two years ago this court, on an appeal after a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 hearing, directed that Munich’s prior plea of guilty to a narcotics charge, the judgment and the sentence all be vacated for the reason that the court did not believe the government had sustained its burden of proof that the plea was voluntarily made with the understanding of the mandatory sentence consequences in a case such as Munich’s. Munich v. United States, 9 Cir., 337 F.2d 356.
The government thereupon chose to tidy up its original indictment by dismissing the old one and reindicting Munich. Upon a trial Munich was convicted. He appeals.
His one substantial point not really precluded by prior decisions of this court or of the Supreme Court of the United States is that at the trial the government could not produce the narcotics which Munich was charged with selling. The heroin which was the subject of the sale had been regularly destroyed or disposed of in accordance with established procedures and statutes applicable when presumptively narcotics are no longer needed as evidence. Thus, we have a corpus delicti problem, or a half brother of one.
The government produced good evidence as to nature of what Munich sold, i.e. virtually everything possible except the narcotics. The appellant claims, however, that he lost an advantage to which he was entitled. If so, in this case, it would have to be in the field of making one’s own test of the substance or some phase of cross examination of a witness. The possibility of such prejudice on the facts here seems too remote.
If there were some suggestion of connivance designed to put Munich at a disadvantage, we would not hesitate to reverse. And, it would be far different from Munich’s case if there had been some careless handling of the substance. But all Munich has is a fortuitous (from his standpoint) circumstance. If Scott’s case (People v. Scott, 176 Cal.App.2d 458, 1 Cal.Rptr. 600) is right in principle, and we think it is, this is an a fortiori case, even though this is a “real” evidence case and Scott’s was a “circumstantial” one. The ultimate evidence in both cases was absent.
If one reads the transcript one finds counsel for defendant was able to make such a searching examination of the expert witnesses, handicapped as they were with no “corpus,” that one’s practical appraisal is that the government was at some disadvantage with the jury.
We are fortified in our conclusion by United States v. Pullings, 7 Cir., 321 F.2d 287. In Pullings, the defendant did have a special reason for the presence in evidence of the wrapper in which the “lost” marijuana was originally found. Thus, Munich’s is a stronger case for affirmance. See also Ware v. United States, 8 Cir., 259 F.2d 442, and Lebron v. United States, 1 Cir., 241 F.2d 885, cert. denied, 354 U.S. 911, 77 S.Ct. 1298, 1 L.Ed.2d 1429.
Other points, ably presented, we do not find substantial. And, we conclude that there was nothing clearly erroneous with the trial.
The evidence was overwhelming but for the absence of the clincher: the heroin itself. And its nature was made clear by the embarrassed experts with no heroin to exhibit.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
