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 "natural persons". 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:
In re NASSETTA et al. DADDIO v. UNITED STATES.
No. 197.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
Feb. 21, 1942.
Samuel B. Wasserman, of New York City, for appellant.
Mathias F. Correa, U. S. Atty., of New York City (Louis W. Goodkind, Asst. U. S. Atty., of New York City, of counsel), for appellee.
Before SWAN, AUGUSTUS N. HAND, and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
The question presented is whether the constitutional “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” can be availed of by one who claims no interest in the premises searched or property seized. Without a warrant officers of the Alcohol Tax Unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue entered the house of one Nassetta and found in the attic an illicit still in operation. Nassetta and Daddio were forthwith arrested. The house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Nassetta as their home. Daddio was Nassetta’s uncle and had slept on the premises the previous night but he resided with his wife and children in a home of his own in the Bronx. He claimed to be a visitor at the Nassetta house and asserted no interest therein or in the property seized. Applications to suppress the evidence were made by both Nassetta and Daddio; the former’s application was granted and the latter’s denied.
With practical unanimity the circuit courts of appeal have ruled that one who has no proprietary or possessory interest in the premises searched or property seized may not suppress evidence obtained by a search and seizure violative of the rights of another. The cases were collected in Connolly v. Medalie, 2 Cir., 58 F.2d 629, and there has been no later divergence. United States v. Goldstein, 2 Cir., 120 F.2d 485, 489. In Alvau v. United States, 9 Cir., 33 F.2d 467, 470, the evidence was suppressed on the motion of a “guest or employee” who “was domiciled in the residence” of another, and in distinguishing this case in United States v. Messina, 2 Cir., 36 F.2d 699, 701, we said that the party complaining of the evidence “should at least be dwelling” on the invaded premises as an employee or guest. In two later cases we said that workmen “not dwelling” on the premises could not raise the constitutional question. United States v. Muscarelle, 2 Cir., 63 F.2d 806; United States v. Conoscente, 2 Cir., 63 F.2d 811. Assuming without decision that these cases imply that a guest who did “dwell” on the premises might raise the question, the implication cannot avail the appellant who appears to have been merely a casual and temporary visitor. He was “dwelling” with his family in a home of his own.
Order affirmed.
