A pretrial services report that prompted a judge to issue a warning to journalist Steve Baker was due to a simple misunderstanding, his attorney said on March 25.

United States District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington D.C. issued an order on March 25 telling Mr. Baker to comply with the pretrial conditions set during a March 14 hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya.
