In an article on Baltimore District Judge Charlotte M. Cooksey in yesterday's editions of The Sun, a paragraph was mistakenly omitted, which caused quoted matter in the story to appear out of context. The text should have appeared this way:

It's also not the first time she has shaken up the status quo in town. Cooksey chairs the state judicial ethics committee, which caused a stir this year when it advised District Judge Catherine Curran O'Malley that she should not handle cases involving Baltimore police since she is married to the mayor of Baltimore.

"The advice was asked and given," Cooksey said. "The recipient didn't agree."

The Sun regrets the error.
