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:
CAIN v. BENSON.
No. 10572.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Oct. 22, 1947.
No appearances.
Before HICKS, SIMONS and ALLEN, Circuit Judges.
SIMONS, Circuit Judge.
The petitioner was tried and convicted of an offense defined by § 531 of the Michigan Penal Code, Comp.Laws Supp.1940, § 17115-531, Stat.Ann. 28.799. This section creates the crime of larceny with intent in its commission to maim, injure or wound any persons, to compel them to disclose or surrender the means of opening a bank, safe, vault or other depository of valuables. The maximum penalty for its commission is imprisonment in a state prison for life.
The information charged the petitioner with confining, maiming, injuring and wounding certain persons for the purpose of stealing from a state bank, substantially in the words of the statute. The journal entry of the verdict and sentence recites that the jury found the defendant guilty as charged. The court then sentenced him to be confined in the state prison for the rest of his natural life. The commitment addressed to the Sheriff, recites that the petitioner had been duly convicted of larceny. Under the Statutes of Michigan, 3 Compiled Laws 1915, § 15298, the penalty for larceny in its simpler form is imprisonment for not more than five years. The commitment, however, also recites that the verdict of conviction and the sentence imposed “more fully appears by a certified abstract from the minutes of said court of such conviction and sentence herewith delivered to you and accompanying this warrant.”
Upon the sole ground that the commitment describes the offense charged and upon which the petitioner was tried and convicted as larceny, without describing it in the aggravated form of § 356, Comp.Laws Supp. 19-40, §.17115-356, the petitioner, having served more than five years in several Michigan prisons, filed his petition in the District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan for a writ of habeas corpus to be released from custody. The writ was dismissed and a petition for a certificate of probable cause in support of an appeal was denied.
The petitioner subsequently filed in this ■court a petition designated variously as an appeal from the order of the district court, as an original petition for a certificate of probable cause, and as a motion to treat the proceedings as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He recites that his petition in the court below was dismissed for lack ■of jurisdiction, that his counsel failed to take a timely appeal and that he wishes the present petition, if not entertained as an .appeal, to be received as an original petition for writ of habeas corpus.
The petition must be denied. We may not consider the several papers filed as .an appeal out of time because no certificate of probable cause has been obtained from the district judge. We may not consider it as an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus because in such proceedings this court sits only as a reviewing court and not as a court of original jurisdiction.
Our reluctance to deny the petition •on technical statutory grounds is mitigated by the fact that it seems clearly to appear that the original petition was without merit and the court without jurisdiction to entertain it. The crime designated in the commitment is designated in the statute as larceny, albeit in an aggravated form, and it would seem to be clear from the history of the proceedings that the state court either considered that there was no error in the description of the crime in the commitment or considered that the error was purely clerical and cured by reference to the minutes of the proceedings and sentence in the trial court. Furthermore, it appears that the petitioner applied to the Circuit Court in Jackson County for a writ of habeas corpus in 1943, which was denied, that a petition to the Michigan Supreme Court was likewise denied, and the petitioner did not apply for relief in the United States Supreme Court from any order of the courts of Michigan. In this situation the law is clear that the district judge was without jurisdiction to entertain the petition under the authority of Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103, 55 S.Ct .340, 79 L.Ed. 791, 98 A.L.R. 406; Ex parte Hawk, 321 U.S. 116, 64 S.Ct. 448, 88 L.Ed. 572; Dawsett v. Benson, 6 Cir., 156 F.2d 669, in the absence of exceptional circumstances discussed in the Hawk case, supra. Betts v. Brady, Warden, 316 U.S. 455, 62 S.Ct. 1252, 86 L.Ed. 1595, relied upon by the petitioner, has no application.
The petition is denied.
