PLAINTIFFS SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM REQUIRED BY THE COURTS MARCH 4, 2014 ORDER On February 28, 2014 Plaintiffs Virginia Wolf, et al. (collectively, Plaintiffs) filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. # 27) asking that this Court enjoin Defendants from

Case: 3:14-cv-00064-bbc Document #: 55 Filed: 03/11/14 Page 2 of 3

enforcing Article XIII, 13 of the Wisconsin Constitution and any Wisconsin statutes which operate to ban marriage for same-sex couples, and further asking that the Court enjoin Defendants Van Hollen, King, and Chisholm from enforcing Wis. Stat. 765.30(1)(A), which makes it a crime for residents to leave the state to contract a marriage considered void in Wisconsin, against same-sex couples who marry outside of Wisconsin. On March 4, 2014, this Court issued an order indicating that in light of the U.S. Supreme Courts decision in Herbert v. Kitchen, 134 S. Ct. 893 (Jan. 6, 2014), to stay the injunction requiring the State of Utah to allow same-sex couples to marry, as well as the subsequent decisions of several other district courts to stay injunctions requiring states to permit and recognize marriages between same-sex couples (e.g., Bishop v. United States ex rel. Holder, 04CV-848-TCK-TLW, 2014 WL 116013 (N.D. Okla. Jan. 14, 2014); Bostic v. Rainey, 2:13CV395, 2014 WL 561978 (E.D. Va. Feb. 13, 2014); De Leon v. Perry, SA-13-CA-00982-OLG, 2014 WL 715741 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 2014)), the Court would also be required to stay any preliminary relief ordered in this case. Given that the grant of a stay would deny Plaintiffs the benefit of immediate relief, the Court encouraged Plaintiffs to withdraw their motion for preliminary injunction and to proceed directly to final resolution of this matter on an expedited schedule. Plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction, in part, because of the risk of prosecution under Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) faced by two of the Plaintiff couples. However, Defendants King and Chisholm have agreed, in the form of a Stipulation attached hereto as Exhibit 1, not to prosecute Plaintiffs Wolf, Schumacher, Young and Willes under Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) for having contracted marriages in Minnesota. Accordingly, Plaintiffs withdraw their motion for preliminary relief in favor of final resolution on an expedited schedule as the Court has recommended.

STIPULATION

Plaintiffs and Defendants King and Chisholm (collectively Defendants), by their respective counsel, hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 1. Plaintiffs allege in their Amended Complaint that Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) makes it

a criminal offense for a Wisconsin resident to leave the State to contract a marriage that is prohibited or void here. (Dkt. #26 at 7.) 2. Plaintiffs further allege that Plaintiffs Wolf and Schumacher, and Young and

Willes, are at imminent risk of prosecution under Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) because they were married in Minnesota. (Dkt. #26 at 7; see also id., , 39, 46.)

Case: 3:14-cv-00064-bbc Document #: 55-1 Filed: 03/11/14 Page 2 of 3

3.

Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) provides a penalty for [a]ny person residing and intending

to continue to reside in this state who goes outside the state and there contracts a marriage prohibited or declared void under the laws of this state. 4. It is Defendants position that the conduct of Plaintiffs Wolf and Schumacher, and

Young and Willes, in contracting their marriages in Minnesota while continuing to reside in Wisconsin is not subject to penalty under Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) because those marriages were not prohibited or declared void under the laws of this state, within the meaning of that statutory provision. 5. It is Defendants further position that the marriages of Plaintiffs Wolf and

Schumacher, and Young and Willes, are not void, within the meaning of Wis. Stat. 765.21, because they were not contracted in violation of Wis. Stat. 765.02, 765.03, 765.04, or 765.16. In particular, it is Defendants position that those marriages were not contracted in violation of Wis. Stat. 765.04(1) because none of those four plaintiffs is a person who is disabled or prohibited from contracting marriage under the laws of this state. 6. Defendants agree not to prosecute Plaintiffs Wolf and Schumacher, and Young

and Willes, as a result of their having contracted marriages in Minnesota because Defendants conclude that Wis. Stat. 765.30(1) does not apply to the conduct described in Plaintiffs Amended Complaint. (See, e.g., Dkt. #26 at 7, 39, 46.)
