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:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kim M. LEE, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 86-1032.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted July 22, 1986.
Decided Sept. 24, 1986.
Allen Turbyfill, Sp: Asst. U.S. Atty., Honolulu, Hawaii, for plaintiff-appellee.
H. Dean Steward, Asst. Federal Public Defender, Honolulu, Hawaii, for defendant-appellant.
Before BROWNING, Chief Judge, and MERRILL and KOELSCH, Circuit Judges.
The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without argument pursuant to 9th Cir. R. 3(f) and Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).
PER CURIAM:
Defendant Lee appeals an order affirming his conviction following a jury trial before a United States magistrate for assault in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 113(d) (1982), and disorderly conduct in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 13 (1982) and Hawaii Rev. Stat. § 711-1101. Defendant claims the magistrate erred by failing to grant a mistrial for an alleged violation of the witness exclusion rule, and by permitting an assault victim to display to the jury a scar where defendant had bitten the victim. We affirm.
Defendant was tried for his part in an altercation at a military base club. The presiding magistrate invoked the witness exclusion rule, pursuant to Fed.R.Evid. 615. During the trial, defendant’s counsel complained that the prosecutor’s assistant regularly went out of the courtroom and communicated with witnesses in violation of the court’s order. The magistrate conducted hearings to examine this conduct, and found the conduct was improper, but it did not prejudice the defendant.
Assuming arguendo the conduct was improper, it was not an abuse of discretion to hold it was not prejudicial. Since the sequestered witnesses presented conflicting testimony, their contact with the prosecutor’s assistant did not lead them to conform their accounts. Defendant’s other theories of possible prejudice are speculative at best.
We cannot say the magistrate abused his discretion in allowing display of the scar. An evidentiary ruling of this type is rarely disturbed on appeal. See, e.g., United States v. Brady, 579 F.2d 1121, 1129 (9th Cir.1978) (photograph of victim who was beaten to death admittedly “not for the faint hearted” but admissible). The location and size of the scar were directly probative of the severity of the wound the defendant inflicted and of the accuracy of the conflicting theories of the government and the defense as to how the altercation proceeded. Defendant made no showing that the scar was so gruesome that it tended unfairly to inflame the jury’s passions.
Defendant argues that his willingness to stipulate to the existence of the scar made it unnecessary, and therefore error, to admit the scar itself into evidence. A trial court had discretion to allow the proof despite defendant’s offer to stipulate. See, e.g., United States v. O’Shea, 724 F.2d 1514, 1516 (11th Cir.1984); United States v. Hearod, 499 F.2d 1003, 1004-05 (5th Cir.1974) (per curiam). As we have said, it was not an abuse of discretion to allow the display on the facts of this case.
AFFIRMED.
