1Opinion of the Court
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.
The foreclosure of a mortgage has produced a difficult problem in the interpretation of Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(a): whether an error in entering the rate of post-judgment interest into a consent decree is a “clerical mistake” that may be corrected at any time.

Unless this is the sort of mistake that may be corrected “at any time” under Rule 60(a), it cannot be corrected at all.
