SOPER, Circuit Judge.

This appeal is taken from an order of the District Judge whereby the defendants were released from the obligation of a judgment to pay to the United States the sum of $60,000 on condition that they pay to the United States the sum of $20,000. The judgment for $60,000 had previously been affirmed by this court and the United States appeals on the ground that the District Judge had no power to amend the judgment in this way.
