PER CURIAM.
The appellant, Doris Gardiner, was convicted under fifteen counts of an indictment charging as many violations of the narcotics laws. Shortly theretofore she had served part of a sentence for similar offenses. Her plea that she was entrapped by federal narcotics agents into selling large quantities of heroin to one of them on several different occasions was submitted to and rejected by the jury.
On appeal, she argues inter alia, that there was entrapment as a matter of law. The point is without substance. There was hardly enough evidence to justify submitting the question of entrapment to the jury.
She also contends that a confession was obtained from her in violation of the Supreme Court’s Mallory ruling. Appellant was arrested at 4:45 p.m. March 8,1962. She was taken to the office of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics for booking and routine processing, arriving there at 5:00 p. m. Within minutes thereafter, while a line-up sheet was being prepared, she began a somewhat lengthy oral statement, admitting the offenses with which she was charged. She was advised that she did not have to make a statement, and was not threatened, coerced, intimidated or abused in any way. In these cirmumstances, appellant’s threshold confession was not obtained in violation of Criminal Rule 5(a) and was properly admitted into evidence. See Jackson v. United States, 114 U.S.App.D.C. 181, 313 F.2d 572, 575 (1962), where we said, “The critical period is that between arrest and confession. 'Detention after a confession plainly does not affect its admissibility. United States v. Mitchell, 1944, 322 U.S. 65, 64 S.Ct. 896, 88 L.Ed. 1140.’ Metoyer v. United States, 102 U.S.App.D.C. 62, 65 n. 4, 250 F.2d 30, 33 n. 4 (1957). * * ”
Other points pressed on appeal do not seem to us to require discussion.
Affirmed.

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.
Your task is to identify the state of the first listed state or local government agency that is an appellant.
