opinion: A/S KREDIIT PANK, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. The CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, Defendant-Appellee.
  No. 353, Docket 27308.
  United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
  Argued May 2, 1962.
  Decided May 18, 1962.
  Delson, Levin & Gordon, New York City (J. Pinckney Torpats, Arlington, Va., of counsel), for plaintiff-appellant.
  A. Donald MacKinnon and Milbank, Tweed, Hope & Hadley, New York City (Rebecca M. Cutler, Edward J. Reilly, Jr., New York City, of counsel), for defendant-appellee.
  Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, WATERMAN and FRIENDLY, Circuit Judges.
  PER CURIAM.
  Appellant, an Estonian bank, brought an action in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, in April, 1956, for a judgment declaring that two persons were the only ones authorized to dispose of funds in its account with defendant, The Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase promptly answered and counterclaimed for interpleader. This was granted in a well-reasoned opinion by Judge Bryan, D.C., 155 F.Supp. 30 (1957). Many further motions ensued; the docket entries alone fill six and a half printed pages. Among other things, appellant sought to relitigate Chase’s right to interplead and opposed, unsuccessfully, the intervention of the Acting Consul General of Estonia. Ultimately a settlement was reached, the action was dismissed with prejudice, and Chase was allowed attorneys’ fees of $8500 and costs and expenses of $2076.41. From the latter portion of the order of dismissal this appeal has been taken.
  It ought not to have been. Appellant does not dispute that a defendant properly invoking interpleader is entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees, Mutual Life Ins. Co. of New York v. Bondurant, 27 F.2d 464, 466 (6 Cir.), cert. denied, 278 U.S. 630, 4 S.Ct. 30, 73 L.Ed. 548 (1828); 3 Moore, Federal Practice (2d ed. 1948), ¶ 22.16, and cases cited in fn. 5. Its claims that an allowance should have been denied here because there was no need for interpleader in the light of N.Y. Banking Law, § 134, subd. 7 and other circumstances, or because Chase did not itself institute an action for interpleader at an earlier date, and that any allowance must be limited to the period before the order allowing interpleader was entered, are not even colorable. The same is true of its criticism of the amount allowed, which represents, in no small measure, services of Chase’s attorneys occasioned by appellant’s unjustified resistance to the interpleader and the hearing of other parties.
  The case would be an appropriate one for invoking our Rule 26(b), 28 U.S.C. whereby damages at a rate not exceeding. 10%, in addition to interest, may be awarded “where an appeal shall delay the proceedings on the judgment, decree, or order of the lower court, and shall appear to have been sued out merely for delay, * * * ” see 28 U.S.C. § 1912, and Ginsburg v. Stern, 295 F.2d 698 (3 Cir. 1961). However, since this is an action in which attorneys’ fees may be awarded in any event, it will be sufficient to grant defendant an additional $1,000 for its attorneys’ fees on appeal, together with the cost of printing its brief and appendix and any other costs normally taxable, and to dismiss the appeal as frivolous. It is' so ordered.
instruction: 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 "private business (including criminal enterprises)", specifically "financial institution". Your task is to determine what subcategory of business best describes this litigant.
