The Judicial Conduct Board has dismissed one ethics complaint against state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille, but another is pending.

Normally, ethics complaints and their outcomes are kept confidential, but a mix-up about which complaint was dismissed spurred Castille to make the decision public.
