TO THE PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Civ. L.R. 6.3 Defendant-Intervenors Hollingsworth, Knight, Gutierrez, Jansson, and ProtectMarriage.com ("Proponents") hereby move this Court to expedite its consideration of their motion for a stay pending appeal of any judgment for Plaintiffs. Proponents respectfully request that the Court decide their motion at the time it enters its judgment in this case. The Court has indicated that its ruling will be forthcoming on August 4, 2010. Proponents have moved the Court to stay its judgment pending appeal if it rules for Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the local rules, that motion is noticed for the next available date on this Court's calendar at least 35 days from today. But absent a stay, same-sex marriages could begin taking place immediately after the Court issues its judgment. As we explain in our stay motion, another purported window of same-sex marriage in California would cause irreparable harm. To avoid that harm, Proponents request that the Court grant their stay motion at the time it issues its judgment.
