Text: The district court modified its July 30 order in an August 21 order. On August 21, the court modified the July 30 order by providing in pertinent part: [O]rder ... dated 7-30-92, is modified to allow Petitioner a deduction in the guideline calculation Exhibit 1 for health insurance in the amount of $55.00 per month. Thereby modifying the amount of child support for two child [sic] from $729 per month to $709 and for on [sic] child reduced from $469 to $457. So ordered. In civil cases, a court of general jurisdiction has inherent power to vacate or modify its own judgments at any time during the term at which they are rendered. Russell v. Luevano, 234 Neb. 581, 452 N.W.2d 43 (1990); In re Estate of Weinberger, 207 Neb. 711, 300 N.W.2d 818 (1981); Barney v. Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District, 147 Neb. 375, 23 N.W.2d 335 (1946). This action by the trial court prior to the termination of term may be either on the court's own motion or at the request of either party. In re Estate of Weinberger, supra . The July 30 order was modified on August 21 by the district court, before the termination of term. Where a second judgment in part contradicts an earlier judgment, the time for appeal from that portion of the second judgment which contradicts the earlier judgment, and that portion only, runs from the rendition of the second judgment. Federal Land Bank v. McElhose, 222 Neb. 448, 384 N.W.2d 295 (1986). Manske's notice of appeal of the August 21 order was filed September 18, within the statutorily prescribed 30-day time limit. See § 25-1912. Thus, this court has appellate jurisdiction to review that portion of the August 21 order which reduced Manske's child support obligation from $729 in the July 30 order to $709 total per month. Errors which are argued but not assigned will not be considered by an appellate court. In re Interest of B.M., 239 Neb. 292, 475 N.W.2d 909 (1991); In re Interest of T.F.P., 237 Neb. 922, 468 N.W.2d 116 (1991). Manske neither assigned as error nor argued that the district court erred in reducing the child support obligation in the August 21 order. The errors assigned and argued address only the July 30 order. Therefore, the district court's order of August 21 will be affirmed.
