We present a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the rate for B-bar^0 versus B^0 decays to J/psi K^0_s. The data sample consists of 198 +/- 17 B^0/B-bar^0 decays collected by the CDF detector in ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron, where the initial b flavor has been determined by a same-side flavor tagging technique. This asymmetry is interpreted in the Standard Model as a measurement of the CP-violation parameter sin(2 beta). Our analysis results in sin(2 beta) = 1.8 +/- 1.1(stat) +/- 0.3(syst).
