1Opinion of the Court
JAMES C. HILL, Circuit Judge:
This appeal is brought from a final judgment entered by the District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in which the sole issue presented for review is whether the district court erred in granting appellants, beneficiaries of certain life insurance policies, interest from the date of judgment rather than from the date when the life insurance policy proceeds became payable. We reverse and remand the case with instructions to amend the judgment to award appellants interest from the date when the policy proceeds became due and payable.
