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:
Gerald R. JONES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 83-2650.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted June 15, 1984.
Decided July 15, 1985.
Lorraine J. Mansfield, Jonathan C. Reed, Crockett & Myers, Las Vegas, Nev., for plaintiff-appellant.
Lamond Mills, U.S. Atty., William C. Turner, Asst. U.S. Atty., Las Vegas, Nev., for defendant-appellee.
Before HUG, TANG and FARRIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Gerald R. Jones brought this action against the United States under the FTCA, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b), for damages sustained in an auto collision caused by the alleged negligence of an employee of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior of the United States. The district court granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment, limiting Jones to the Nevada workmen’s compensation benefits that he has already received as his exclusive remedy. The court based its holding on its legal conclusion that the United States operated as a principal contractor at a construction site where Jones worked, and hence was Jones’ statutory employer as a matter of Nevada law. We find the record does not establish the statutory employer-employee relationship as a matter of law, and remand for resolution of this genuine issue of material fact.
Nevada’s statutory and decisional law governs the determination of the United States’ liability under the FTCA. See Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 68, 69 (9th Cir.1982) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b) and United States v. Sutro, 235 F.2d 499, 500 (9th Cir.1956)). Under the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act (NIIA), Nev.Rev.Stat. §§ 616.010-616.680, an “employer” is shielded from common law tort liability because the workmen’s compensation benefits provided for under the NIIA are the exclusive remedy for work related injuries. See Lewis, 680 F.2d at 69 (citing Nev.Rev.Stat. §§ 616.270(3) and 616.370(1)); Leslie v. J.A. Tiberti Construction Co., 664 P.2d 963, 964-65 (Nev.1983). “Nevada Courts recognize that an employee may be deemed to have more than one employer” for the purposes of the NIIA. Lems, 680 F.2d at 69. Furthermore, a property owner who has contracted to have work done on his property will be considered an “employer” when that property owner “functions as his own principal contractor.” Id. (citing Hosvepian v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 94 Nev. 768, 587 P.2d 1313, 1314 (1978)).
The test to determine whether a landowner is functioning as a principal contractor and hence has established a statutory employer-employee relationship with the putative employee is, under Nevada law, to be determined under a five factor test for adjudging the amount of “control” exercised by the putative employer over the worker. Antonini v. Hanna Industries, 94 Nev. 12, 573 P.2d 1184, 1186 (1978). The five factors, each of which is to be accorded substantially equal weight, are:
(1) the degree of supervision exercised by the putative employer over the details of the work; (2) the source of the worker’s wages; (3) the existence of a right on the part of the putative employer to hire and fire the worker; (4) the extent to which the worker’s activities further the “general business concerns” of the putative employer; (5) the putative employer’s right to control the hours and location of employment.
Leslie v. J.A. Tiberti Construction Co., 664 P.2d at 965. The district court found this control test satisfied as a matter of law.
We review the grant of summary judgment de novo; our task is identical to that of the district court. Raddatz v. United States, 750 F.2d 791, 795 (9th Cir.1984). We must view the evidence most favorably to Jones, and determine whether the United States was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See id.
We find that on the record before us the district court erred in finding “principal contractor” or statutory employer-employee relationships existed as a matter of law. We adopt for the purposes of this opinion the findings of fact of the district court as wholly supported by the record. These facts do show that substantial control over the operational details of the project was indeed possessed by the government. We note, however, that the district court did not acknowledge an issue raised in the depositions submitted by the United States, as to the actual role of the government employees on the site on a daily basis. In the deposition of Donald Fillis, an employee of the Bureau of Reclamation, the function of the Bureau’s employees at the site was characterized as supervisory in nature. On the other hand, in the deposition of Thomas G. Hopkins, an employee of Kaiser Steel Company, (plaintiff Jones’ employer), the function of these government employees was characterized more as one of inspecting the work.
More importantly, the Nevada courts have stressed that “a test focusing exclusively upon the degree of control over operational details” has been rejected in favor of the broader examination of the enumerated factors above. Antonini, 573 P.2d at 1186, n. 5. The United States may prove this test satisfied after full development of the facts at trial. For example, the inclusion of workmen’s compensation for Kaiser Steel’s employees in Kiewit & Sons’ bid to the United States could be construed by the trier of fact as some evidence showing that the government was the source of Jones’ wages. See e.g., Titanium Metals Corp. v. Eighth Judicial District Court, 76 Nev. 72, 349 P.2d 444, 445 (1960) (payment of or reimbursement for labor costs, health, welfare and other taxes related to labor considered as factors showing party was acting as principal contractor). As the record now exists, however, we do not find the Nevada test satisfied as a matter of law.
Although the potential in the record for a factual finding after trial that the principal contractor relationship exists, we find that this case is controlled by Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 68. As in Lewis,
[Conspicuously absent [is evidence] that the Government supervised the details of [Jones’] work, that it had authority to fire him, or that it was the source of his wages.
680 F.2d at 70. Our finding simply is that the district court was premature in granting summary judgment on the issue of whether the United States was a principal contractor. We are bound to apply existing Nevada law, e.g., Morgan v. United States, 709 F.2d 580, 582 (9th Cir.1983); Davies v. United States, 542 F.2d 1361, 1362 (9th Cir.1976), and by our previous application of Nevada law to similar facts in Lewis. The case is therefore REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
. We find it unnecessary to reach the question of the effect of Jones’ failure to respond to the motion for summary judgment because defendant fails to support its motion with evidence sufficient to satisfy the standard for summary judgment. Adickes v. S.H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 159-60, 90 S.Ct. 1598, 1609-10, 26 L.Ed.2d 142 (1970); Menhorn v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 738 F.2d 1496, 1508 n. 1 (9th Cir.1984) (Ferguson, J. dissenting).
