The Ninth Circuit court of Appeals has ordered that the district court's decision in Perry v. Schwarzenegger (Case No. 09-2292) be stayed pending appeal. The Ninth circuit Court has ordered that the appeal be heard during the week of December 6, 2010. In the meantime, the County Clerk's Office cannot issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This website will be updated as new information becomes available.
