Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

OWEN, Circuit Judge:

In this diversity suit, we hold that the law of the case doctrine does not preclude us from recalling and modifying this court’s mandate issued at the conclusion of a prior appeal, and we recall and reform that mandate to permit the award of pre- and post-judgment interest. We further hold that the 2003 amendments to the Texas Finance Code govern the pre-judgment interest rate and that 28 U.S.C. § 1961(a) governs the post-judgment interest rate. Accordingly, we reverse the district court’s judgment in part and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
