| Correction: Kobe Bryant-Lawsuit stories |
In stories on May 3 with a Trenton, N.J., dateline and on May 10 without a dateline about a legal fight over the planned auction of Kobe Bryant memorabilia, The Associated Press erroneously reported the number and value of items that Bryant’s mother wants to sell at auction. She received a $450,000 advance and intends to sell 100 items in June. The stories incorrectly referred to 900 items valued at $1.5 million, but those are not Bryant-related items. Rather, they are other pieces slated for sale at the same auction.
