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:
McDONNEL v. UNITED STATES.
No. 9070.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia.
Argued April 4, 1946.
Decided May 8, 1946.
Mr. Woodrow E. Faulkner, of Washington, D. C., with whom Mr. Joseph A. Pieper, of Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellant.
Mr. John P. Burke, Assistant United States Attorney, of Washington, D. C., with whom Mr. Edward M. Curran, United States Attorney, of Washington, D. G, was on the brief, for appellee. Mr. Sidney S. Sachs, Assistant United States Attorney, of Washington, D. G, also entered an appearance for appellee.
Before EDGERTON, WILBUR K. MILLER and PRETTYMAN, Associate Justices.
PER CURIAM.
Upon his trial before a jury in the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, Daniel A. McDonnel was convicted of violating the Mann Act, § 398, Title 18, U.S.C.A. He appeals from an order which denied his motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
The appellant said he had learned after his trial that oppressive police methods had extorted false testimony from the prosecuting witness which she would repudiate at another hearing. In support of this ground McDonnel filed the affidavit of one Dough-erty which set forth that the girl had informed him of the perjury which she had committed under duress from police officers.
The appellee countered by filing an affidavit of the prosecuting witness in which she denied that she had ever repudiated her testimony, and stated that she had testified freely, without coercion.
The trial court set the motion for a new trial down for hearing. In addition to the affidavits, oral evidence was heard and the young woman who had been the principal witness against the appellant insisted that she had testified truthfully at the trial, that she had not been forced by threats or otherwise to give her evidence, and that she had not at any time retracted it. Moreover, the attorney for the appellant, when questioned at the oral hearing, did not say unequivocally that the prosecuting witness had repudiated her evidence in conversation with Dougherty, although he was present when the conversation took place.
As a further ground the appellant alleged that, on the occasion of the crime, his physical presence elsewhere made it impossible for him to have been guilty. The alleged evidence concerning an alibi was not shown at the hearing to have been newly discovered.
The trial court has a broad discretion as to whether a new trial should be granted because of newly discovered evidence, and its action will not be disturbed on appeal unless an abuse of that discretion appears. Here the District Court was most patient in affording the appellant the fullest opportunity to support his motion. It appears not only that there was no abuse of discretion in refusing a new trial but also that, in the circumstances, such action would have been quite unjustified.
Affirmed.
