The
clerk
then
filed
an
application
for
a
stay
at the
United States
Supreme Cour1.
On July
9,2014,
in
a
one-line
order
citing the
Supreme Court s
decision
in
this
case,
Justice
Alito
denied the rnotion.
A copy of the docket
reflecting the order
is
attached hereto
as
Exhibit C.
In this case,
Plaintiffs-Appellees
and Defendants-Appellees
opposed
the National Organization
for Marriage s applica-tion
for
a
stay
at
the
Supreme
Court by arguing,
among other things,
that
the
National
Organizafion
for Marriage
would
not
have
Article
III
standing to
appeal
the
judgment
even
if
it were
permitted
to
intervene.
The
inference to
be
drawn
from the
Supreme
Court s orders
in this case
and
in tYhitewoodisthat
it agrees.
Accordingly,
this
appeal is moot
and should
be
dismissed.
