are not compelled to follow any of their conflicting results. Courts in other jurisdictions have addressed the issue squarely, but have reached differing conclusions. Three principal interpretations are possible: (1) the FCIA applies only to judgments entered after the effective date, (2) it applies to judgments entered before the effective date for the entire post-judgment period, and (3) it applies to judgments entered before the effective date but only for interest accruing in the period after the effective date. Each of these interpretations has found judicial approval. A majority of the circuits that have addressed the issue have concluded that the FCIA should apply only to judgments entered after the effective date. See Brooks v. United States, 757 F.2d 734, 741-43 (5th Cir.1985) (<HOLDING>); Litton Sys. v. American Tel. & Tel. Co., 746
