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 race or ethnic identity of this litigant as identified in the opinion. Names may be used to classify a person as hispanic if there is little ambiguity. All aliens are coded as "not ascertained".

Opinion:
KING v. NIXON.
No. 11569.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued May 13, 1953.
Decided Aug. 27, 1953.
Mr. Saul G. Lichtenberg, Washington, D. C., with whom Mr. Ira M. Lowe and Mr. Evan T. Davis, Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellant.
Mr. William E. Owen, Washington, D. C., for appellee.
Before EDGERTON, FAHY and WASHINGTON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
The District Court rightly ruled that recovery of exemplary or punitive damages, in a civil action for assault and battery, is not precluded by the fact that the defendant may be liable to criminal prosecution, and also that the defendant’s financial condition is admissible in evidence as bearing on the amount of such damages. Brown v. Evans, C.C., 17 F. 912; affirmed, Evans v. Brown, 1883, 109 U.S. 180, 3 S.Ct. 83, 27 L.Ed. 898; notes, 16 A.L.R. 771, 798, 838, 123 A.L.R. 1115, 1122, 1136.
