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 gender of this litigant. Use names to classify the party's sex only if there is little ambiguity (e.g., the sex of "Chris" should be coded as "not ascertained").

Opinion:
UNITED STATES of America, ex rel. Golden FRINKS, Appellant, v. J. G. BARWICK, Superintendent of Gates County Prison Unit 014, Gatesville, North Carolina, Appellee.
No. 9334.
United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.
Argued April 23, 1964.
Decided April 27, 1964.
Arthur Kinoy, New York City (Earl Whitted, Jr., Goldsboro, N. C., J. Robert Lunney, New York City, Samuel S. Mitchell, Raleigh, N. C., Charles T. McKinney, New York City, Floyd B. McKissick, Durham, N. C., William M. Kunstler, Michael J. Kunstler, and Kunstler, Kunstler & Kinoy, New York City, on brief), for appellant.
Theodore C. Brown, Jr., Staff Attorney for State of North Carolina (T. W. Bruton, Atty. Gen. of North Carolina, on brief), for appellee.
Before SOBELOFF, Chief Judge, and BRYAN and J. SPENCER BELL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
This matter is before the court on an appeal from an order of the district court for the Eastern District of North Carolina discharging a writ of habeas corpus. The district court also declined to admit the petitioner to bail pending this appeal. The effect of such denial was to compel the petitioner to serve out the jail sen-fence before he could have a review of its legality.
His principal claim was that he had been denied assistance of counsel in a state proceeding in which the court invoked a six months suspended sentence against him and ordered that the term be served. The district court based its action on the ground that the petitioner had failed to exhaust available state rem-e(jies_
We hold that the petitioner, having theretofore squarely presented to the Supreme Court of North Carolina his contention that he was denied counsel in the revocation proceeding, and having been denied relief in that court, he is not further obliged to pursue alternate procedures for relief in the state courts, Fay v. Noia, 372 U.S. 391, 83 S.Ct. 822, 9 L.Ed.2d 837 (1963); Grundler v. North Carolina, 283 F.2d 798 (4 Cir. 1960).
The case will, therefore, be remanded' to the district court to hear the petition for habeas corpus on its merits. The-order heretofore entered by Judge Bell, a member of this court, admitting the petitioner to bail pending the final outcome' of this case, is hereby continued in effect.
Remanded.
