WISDOM, Circuit Judge:
The appeal in this case was triggered by a clerical mistake in the district clerk's office that led to the dismissal with prejudice of the underlying bankruptcy action. The district court held that the dismissal deprived the bankruptcy court of the power to vacate the dismissal. We hold that Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(a) authorizes the court to undo the effect of the clerical mistake. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the district court.
