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.
