2014CV30833 ORDER Denying Stay

[bigtree]

6. bravo, William

On July 21, 2014, two weeks after denial of its request for a preliminary injunction against Clerk Hall, the State filed a notice of appeal and has asked this Court for what it has styled “Forthwith Motion for Stay Pending Appeal.”

In actuality, the State is asking this Court to reconsider its July 10, 2014 ruling and block Clerk Hall from issuing same sex marriage licenses. For the reasons set forth below, the Court DENIES the State’s request.

The State has offered no actual support in favor of reconsideration, more cases have found same sex marriage bans unconstitutional since the Court issued its ruling and the State not met its burden to obtain a stay pending appeal under established Colorado law. As mentioned it its ruling denying the State’s request for an order enjoining Clerk Hall from issuing same sex marriage licenses, “this action is one part of a fast moving legal environment that has unfolded in Colorado and nationally on the issue of same- sex marriages.”
