HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
After summary judgment was granted in favor of his client, appellee’s counsel transferred judgment proceeds received from the court to his- client, except for a portion which he retained for himself, at least in part, as payment of his contingent legal fee. The summary judgment was subsequently reversed on appeal. Appellants seek to compel the attorney to return that portion of the judgment which he retained. Their motion was denied. We reverse.
