1. “1 fiThus, a judgment may be amended by a trial court where the judgment takes nothing away from or adds nothing to the original judgment. As a general rule, a final judgment is not subject to substantive amendment by the trial judge on his own motion or motion of any party. In such an event, the proper recourse is a timely application for new trial or an appeal. The district court may grant a limited or unlimited new trial, but until it does, it cannot modify its previous judgment as to substance.”
