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.
In some cases there is some confusion over who should be listed as the appellant and who as the respondent. This confusion is primarily the result of the presence of multiple docket numbers consolidated into a single appeal that is disposed of by a single opinion. Most frequently, this occurs when there are cross appeals and/or when one litigant sued (or was sued by) multiple litigants that were originally filed in district court as separate actions. The coding rule followed in such cases should be to go strictly by the designation provided in the title of the case. The first person listed in the title as the appellant should be coded as the appellant even if they subsequently appeared in a second docket number as the respondent and regardless of who was characterized as the appellant in the opinion.
To clarify the coding conventions, consider the following hypothetical case in which the US Justice Department sues a labor union to strike down a racially discriminatory seniority system and the corporation (siding with the position of its union) simultaneously sues the government to get an injunction to block enforcement of the relevant civil rights law. From a district court decision that consolidated the two suits and declared the seniority system illegal but refused to impose financial penalties on the union, the corporation appeals and the government and union file cross appeals from the decision in the suit brought by the government. Assume the case was listed in the Federal Reporter as follows:
United States of America,
Plaintiff, Appellant
v
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendant, Appellee.
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendants, Cross-appellants
v
United States of America.
Widgets, Inc. & Susan Kuersten Sheehan, President & Chairman
of the Board
Plaintiff, Appellants,
v
United States of America,
Defendant, Appellee.
This case should be coded as follows:Appellant = United States, Respondents = International Brotherhood of Widget Workers Widgets, Inc., Total number of appellants = 1, Number of appellants that fall into the category "the federal government, its agencies, and officials" = 1, Total number of respondents = 3, Number of respondents that fall into the category "private business and its executives" = 2, Number of respondents that fall into the category "groups and associations" = 1.
Note that if an individual is listed by name, but their appearance in the case is as a government official, then they should be counted as a government rather than as a private person. For example, in the case "Billy Jones & Alfredo Ruiz v Joe Smith" where Smith is a state prisoner who brought a civil rights suit against two of the wardens in the prison (Jones & Ruiz), the following values should be coded: number of appellants that fall into the category "natural persons" =0 and number that fall into the category "state governments, their agencies, and officials" =2. A similar logic should be applied to businesses and associations. Officers of a company or association whose role in the case is as a representative of their company or association should be coded as being a business or association rather than as a natural person. However, employees of a business or a government who are suing their employer should be coded as natural persons. Likewise, employees who are charged with criminal conduct for action that was contrary to the company policies should be considered natural persons.
If the title of a case listed a corporation by name and then listed the names of two individuals that the opinion indicated were top officers of the same corporation as the appellants, then the number of appellants should be coded as three and all three were coded as a business (with the identical detailed code). Similar logic should be applied when government officials or officers of an association were listed by name.
Your specific task is to determine the total number of appellants in the case that fall into the category "private business and its executives". If the total number cannot be determined (e.g., if the appellant is listed as "Smith, et. al." and the opinion does not specify who is included in the "et.al."), then answer 99.

Opinion:
Thomas J. MUNDY, Jr., et al., Plaintiffs, Appellants, v. LUMBERMAN’S MUTUAL CASUALTY CO., Defendant, Appellee.
No. 85-1588.
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
Argued Dec. 3, 1985.
Decided Feb. 13, 1986.
Wendy P. Solovay, Boston, with whom Marshall F. Newman and Newman & Newman, P.C., Boston, were on brief for appellants.
Brian R. Merrick with whom Burke, Wieners, Moran, Hurley & Merrick, Boston, was on brief for appellee.
Before COFFIN, BREYER and TORRUELLA, Circuit Judges.
BREYER, Circuit Judge.
Thomas Mundy, an assistant district attorney of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and his wife, Madelon, have sued their insurer in an effort to recover the actual value of some silver that was stolen from their home. Since the policy in effect at the time of the burglary limited recovery for loss of silverware to $1000, the company refused to pay them anymore. The Mundys noted, however, that an earlier policy had not contained such a limit. They argued that the company did not give them adequate notice of the change when it sent them the policy renewal. And, this failure, in their view, entitles them to recovery under state law theories of contract, tort or unfair trade practice.
The district court granted the company’s motion for summary judgment, for the court believed that the record showed — beyond genuine dispute — that the company’s notice was adequate. The Mundys now appeal that decision.
The Mundys say in their brief that the “declarations page” of the policy (which they received) said nothing about the change, though “apparently ... there was buried in the fine print of the policy a limitation of $1,000.00 with respect to a loss of silverware.” The policy itself, however, tells a rather different story.
Mundy testified that Exhibit 4 was the very policy he received “in the form in which [he] ... received it.” On the jacket (apparently the inside cover) is a table of contents. The page also contains five short sentences in capital letters at its bottom. Four of those sentences read as follows:
THIS IS A NEW EASY TO READ POLICY. PLEASE READ YOUR POLICY. THERE ARE SOME COVERAGE CHANGES. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL YOUR AGENT OR THE COMPANY RIGHT AWAY.
There follows a declarations page containing the cost of premiums for coverages in effect. The declarations page is followed by two slips of paper (about half the ordinary page size) each with one or two sentences (about inflation protection and nonresidential theft). Then, there is a one-page summary of the changes made. Each change noted in the summary is in a separate paragraph, set off from the others by added space and black dots. The relevant paragraph says:
Theft of silverware and guns is now limited to $1,000. Should you wish more coverage for such items, contact your agent.
The remainder of the booklet consists of the twelve-page policy itself. On page 2, the policy says:
Special Limits of Liability ...
7. $1000 for loss by theft of silverware, silverplated ware, goldware, gold-plated ware and pewterware.
The whole policy is written in readable English in good-sized print with certain words, such as “Special Limits of Liability,” set off in boldface type.
We find nothing in the record that fairly can be read as disputing these facts. Mundy at one point said that the summary of changes was stapled “somewhere” in the policy; but the word “somewhere” is consistent with his concession that Exhibit 4. presents the pages in the proper order. As the district court noted, these facts bring this case well within the scope of Epstein v. Northwestern National Insurance Co., 267 Mass. 571, 166 N.E. 749 (1929), which binds an insured by the terms of a renewal insurance policy as long as he receives it.
The Mundys argue that Epstein is now out of date and a minority position. As Mundy recognized, these are not adequate reasons for disregarding Massachusetts case law. Nor do we believe the question should be certified to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Mass.S.J.C. Rule 1:03, for, in any event, the Mundys cannot prevail. The facts here make this case very similar to GEICO v. United States, 400 F.2d 172, 175 (10th Cir.1968), where even “a casual reading of the mailed material” would have given the plaintiffs adequate notice. And, we find nothing in the cases they cite from other jurisdictions that would require a different result. Compare Noyes Supervision, Inc. v. Canadian Indemnity Co., 487 F.Supp. 433, 436 (D.Colo. 1980) (endorsement not added until after loss); Giles v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 405 F.Supp. 719, 725-26 (N.D.Ala.1975) (coverage change not included in summary of changes, therefore insurer bound by original policy as modified according to summary); Pennsylvania Millers Mutual Ins. Co. v. Dunlap, 153 Ga.App. 116, 264 S.E.2d 483 (1980) (endorsement limiting liability for silverware not received); Industro Motive Corp. v. Morris Agency, Inc., 76 Mich.App. 390, 256 N.W.2d 607 (1977) (insurer estopped from relying on 20 percent coverage limitation in policy because of affirmative representations that insured was 50 percent covered); Canadian Universal Ins. Co. v. Fire Watch, Inc., 258 N.W.2d 570, 574 (Minn.1979) (undisputed that no notice given); Bauman v. Royal Indemnity Co., 36 N.J. 12, 174 A.2d 585, 591-92 (1961) (insured not bound by terms of renewal policy unless notice that there are changes in coverage is given); Aetna Ins. Co. v. Lythgoe, 618 P.2d 1057 (Wyo. 1980) (no dispute that insured’s attention was not specifically directed to coverage change).
The judgment of the district court is
Affirmed. Double costs to Appellee.
