A Michigan judge with the same name as the federal judge who restored CNN reporter Jim Acosta's access to the White House has been receiving angry calls over the ruling.
Furious callers mistook Bay County District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly for US District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly for the District of Columbia.
US District Judge Kelly granted Acosta a two-week injunction to return to work on November 16.
Meanwhile, on November 16 Bay County Judge Kelly was out of the office.
The White House had initially revoked Acosta's credentials after he and President Donald Trump tangled verbally during a November 7 press conference.

Judge Kelly's Bay City's office received a half-dozen phone calls complaining about the other Timothy J. Kelly's ruling, according to MLive.com.
Bay County Judge Kelly said he thinks the callers 'would at least do your homework' before calling someone to complain.
'In my line of work, of course, you expect to be criticized for some of your decisions,' Bay County Judge Kelly told the news site.
'That goes with the territory. However, to be criticized for decisions you didn't make... It just makes you wonder.'
Bay County Judge Kelly's court recorder and judicial secretary Alexa Pobanz said she was initially bewildered by the calls.
'It took me three or four calls to figure out what they were talking about,' Pobanz told MLive.
'People didn't identify themselves necessarily; they just started in - "This is the worst ruling ever made by the judge today." I was very confused.'
Pobanz said every single call was someone who just wanted to complain.
On Monday, the Trump administration abruptly dropped its effort to bar Acosta from the White House, but warned he could have his credentials pulled again if he doesn't follow guidelines governing journalists' behavior.
The White House said reporters would be permitted one question each if called upon at news conferences and allowed follow-ups only at the discretion of the president.
In a letter to Acosta, White House communications director Bill Shine and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said they will be forced to reconsider the decision 'if unprofessional behavior occurs'.
CNN said that, as a result, it has dropped its lawsuit against the White House filed on Acosta's behalf.

'Thanks to everyone for their support,' Acosta tweeted. 'As I said last Friday ... let's get back to work.'
Acosta's credentials were revoked earlier this month, with the Trump administration's initial reasoning being that Acosta had manhandled a White House intern seeking to take his microphone.
But that fell apart after Sanders distributed a doctored video sped up to make Acosta look more aggressive than he actually was.
Instead, the White House focused on behavior they deemed disrespectful to the president.

Acosta and CNN have been frequent targets of a president who has derided coverage of his administration as 'fake news' and called the media the enemy of the people.
CNN filed suit to get Acosta's credentials restored, arguing that the action violated the constitutional right to freedom of the press and that he had been denied due process.
After DC District Court Judge Kelly cited the due process argument last Friday in granting Acosta a two-week injunction to get back to work, the White House initially fought back, saying it had made a preliminary decision to keep Acosta out when the two weeks were up.
But after CNN requested a hearing, Shine and Sanders changed course.
'The view from here is that White House interaction with the press is, and generally should be, subject to kind of a natural give and take,' Shine and Sanders wrote.
'President Trump believes strongly in the First Amendment and interacts with the press in just such a way. It would be a great loss for all if, instead of this give-and-take, and instead of relying on the professionalism of White House journalists, we were compelled to devise a lengthy and detailed code of conduct.'
The White House Correspondents Association said the White House did the right thing in restoring Acosta's pass.
The WHCA said it had no role in crafting any of the new procedures, and objected to one.
'For as long as there have been White House press conferences, White House reporters have asked follow-up questions,' said Olivier Knox, WHCA president. 'We fully expect this tradition will continue.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
