These data represent non-stationary, axially symmetric, black holes. As a consequence, we obtain that any data in this class satisfy the inequality $\sqrt{J} \leq m$, where $m$ and $J$ are the total mass and angular momentum of the spacetime.The statement before Eq. (17) in page 5 in the previous version is incorrect.
