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:
Herbert Edward HOYT, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 73-2435.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
Oct. 10, 1974.
Rehearing Denied Dec. 27, 1974.
William G. Whatley, Baton Rouge, La., for petitioner-appellant.
Douglas M. Gonzales, U. S. Atty., Baton Rouge, La., Mary William Cazalas, Asst. U. S. Atty., New Orleans, La., for respondent-appellee.
Before RIVES, WISDOM and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Herbert Edward Hoyt, Jr., after a jury trial in 1971, was found guilty of kidnapping, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1201(a), and sentenced by the District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana to a term of twenty (20) years imprisonment. At the time of sentencing appellant was eighteen (18) years of age and was eligible for sentencing under the terms of the Federal Youth Corrections Act of 1950, 18 U.S.C. § 5005, et seq. This action under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, and applicant, by later motion, seeks removal to the Eastern District of Louisiana.
The main thrust of argument by Hoyt on this appeal is that the District Court erred in failing to make an explicit finding that appellant Hoyt would not benefit from treatment under the Federal Youth Corrections Act, Section 5010(d). We have carefully reviewed the record of the sentencing and find that, although counsel for defendant at the time of the sentencing called the attention of the Court to the tender age of the defendant, neither the defendant’s counsel nor the District Court suggested in the record that the Federal Youth Corrections Act be considered at the time of sentencing.
We think that the case at hand is controlled by the recent Supreme Court decision of Dorszynski v. United States, 1974, 418 U.S. 424, 94 S.Ct. 3042, 41 L.Ed.2d 855, which holds that 18 U.S.C. § 5010(d) requires an explicit finding of “no benefit” as a condition precedent to sentencing an eligible offender as an adult. Chief Justice Burger in Dorszynski held:
“Literal compliance with the Act can be satisfied by any expression that makes clear the sentencing judge consider the alternative of sentencing under the Act and decided that the youth offender would not derive benefit from treatment under the Act.
“This case provides an example of the problems arising when the required finding is left to implication. Counsels’ references to the Act followed by the District Court’s sentence indeed afford support for the argument that by implication, the options of the Act were considered and rejected. However at the post-conviction hearing the District Court found from the record of the sentencing hearing the implication that the Act was ‘not applicable.’ It is thus unclear whether this meant the court believed petitioner to be legally ineligible for treatment under the Act — which would be error — or whether, realizing he was eligible, nevertheless deliberately opted to sentence him as an adult. An explicit finding that petitioner would not have benefited from treatment under the Act would have removed all doubt concerning whether the enlarged discretion Congress provided to sentencing courts was indeed exercised.”
418 U.S. 444, 94 S.Ct. 3053.
As to the appellant’s other assertions of error, we find there is no merit in the contention that the District Court erred in denying the motion to transfer the action from the Middle District to the Eastern District of Louisiana or that there was error in denying a hearing.
Accordingly, the sentence of the District Court is hereby vacated and the case is remanded to the District Court to conduct further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Vacated and remanded.
. Applicant Hoyt was tried, convicted and sentenced by the District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Since the date of sentencing, July 2, 1971, a new dis-triet, the Middle District of Louisiana, has been created, and the Baton Rouge Division is now a part of the newly created district.
. Immediately prior to sentencing, the Court stated:
“I think that you have a long time before you can be considered fit to be in a free society. I think that possibly the Federal authorities might have some provisions whereby they can offer you training and maybe convince you that there is a better way than the way you have apparently chosen.”
