PER CURIAM.

Appellants' motion asks that we remand this case to the district court in order that they may there seek a new trial for newly discovered evidence. Under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A.¹ we should only entertain such a motion in case the district court indicates, after a hearing, that it intends to grant a motion for a new trial.
