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 gender of this litigant. Use names to classify the party's sex only if there is little ambiguity (e.g., the sex of "Chris" should be coded as "not ascertained").

Opinion:
Fred James DUNLAP, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LOCKHEED-GEORGIA COMPANY, Aeronautical Machinists Local 709 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 84-8329.
United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
, OD 100r March 28, 1985.
Penelope W. Rumsey, Atlanta, Ga., for plaintiff-appellant.
Thomas H. Christopher, J.R. Goldthwaite, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., for Lockheed-GeorSia Co.
Before RONEY and HENDERSON, Circuit Judges, and TUTTLE, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
The district court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this labor action because plaintiff’s complaint was not both filed and served within the applicable six-month statute of limitations contained in Section 10(b) of the National Labor Rela-turns Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 160(b). Plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
Plaintiff was laid off by Lockheed on August 15, 1972. His seniority rights with T ,, ’ , . / f. Lockheed were to expire under the pertinent collective bargaining agreements if he was not recalled within 48 months of the date he was laid off. Plaintiff was rehired jn June of 1981. Discovering that some employees with less seniority than he had retained their seniority rights, plaintiff fned a grievance on June 17, 1981. A second grievance was filed in July. The Union decided not to prosecute his griev-anee on August 20,1981. Lockheed agreed on same date, and because neither his union nor his employer agreed to prosecute, plaintiff’s case was not taken to arbitration.
While plaintiff did not receive formal written notice of the Union’s decision until September 10, 1981, the record indicates he knew of the Union’s final decision shortly after it was made on August 20, and before the written confirmation of September 10. Plaintiff filed this action on March 9, 1982. Lockheed was served on March 16, 1982. The Union was served on March 29, 1982.
Our decision in this case is controlled by Howard v. Lockheed-Georgia Co., 742 F.2d 612 (11th Cir.1984), and Simon v. Kroger Co., 743 F.2d 1544 (11th Cir.1984). Both of these cases, on facts substantially the same as those here, held that the applicable limitation statute requires both the filing and service of the complaint within six months of the cause of action’s accrual. Del Costello v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 462 U.S. 151, 103 S.Ct. 2281, 76 L.Ed.2d 476 (1983), held the following six-month statute controls a hybrid breach of contract/duty of fair representation claim, the type of claim at issue here:
[N]o complaint shall issue based upon any unfair labor practice occurring more than six months prior to the filing of the charge with the Board and the service of a copy thereof upon the person against whom such charge is made____
29 U.S.C.A. § 160(b).
Even if plaintiff’s claim did not expire until March 9, 1982, it is undisputed that neither the Union nor the company was served within the limitations period. Lockheed was not served until March 16, the Union March 29. The district court’s decision to grant defendants’ motion for summary judgment was correct.
AFFIRMED.
