Re: Obergefell v. Himes, Case No. 14-3057 and Henry v. Himes, Case No. 14-3464
Notice of Supplemental Authority FRAP 28(j); Sixth Cir. R. 28(e)

Dear Ms. Hunt:

Pursuant to FRAP 28(j) and Sixth Circuit Rule 28(e), counsel for the Plaintiffs in the
above-named cases submit the attached decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
denying writs of certiorari in the following cases:

1. Kitchen v. Herbert, 755 F.3d 1193 (10th Cir. 2014) cert. denied, ---S.Ct.----, 2014
WL 3841263, (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-124);
2. Bostic v. Rainey, 970 F. Supp. 2d 456 (E.D. Va. 2014) aff'd sub nom. Bostic v.
Schaefer, 760 F.3d 352 (4th Cir. 2014), cert. denied., ---S.Ct.----, 2014 WL
3924685, (U.S. October 6, 2014) (No. 14-153);
3. Bostic v. Schaefer, 760 F.3d 352 (4th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, ---S.Ct.----, 2014
WL 4230092, (U.S. October 6, 2014) (No. 14-225);
4. McQuigg v. Bostic, 2014 WL 4354536 (U.S. October 6, 2014) (No. 14-251);
5. Bishop v. Smith, 760 F.3d 1070 (10th Cir. 2014) cert. denied, ---S.Ct.----, 2014
WL 3854318, (U.S. October 6, 2014) (No. 14-136);
6. Baskin v. Bogan, 14-2386, 2014 WL 4359059 (7th Cir. Sept. 4, 2014) cert denied,
---S.Ct.----, 2014 WL 4425162, (U.S. October 6, 2014) (No. 14-277);
7. Wolf v. Walker, 986 F. Supp. 2d 982 (W.D. Wis. 2014), judgment entered (J une
13, 2014), aff'd sub nom. Baskin v. Bogan, 14-2386, 2014 WL 4359059 (7th Cir.
Sept. 4, 2014), cert. denied, ---S.Ct.----, 2014 WL 4425163, (U.S. October 6,
2014) (No. 14-278).

The Supreme Courts decision not to hear these cases means that according to binding
precedent in the Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Circuits, bans on allowing same-sex couples to
Case: 14-3057 Document: 127-1 Filed: 10/06/2014 Page: 1 (1 of 9)
marry and bans on recognizing their marriages from other jurisdictions will not stand, supporting
the overall arguments in the Obergefell and Henry plaintiffs briefs that discriminating against
same-sex couples with regard to marriage laws violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The
Supreme Courts denial of certiorari also confirms that Baker v. Nelson, 409 U.S. 810 (1972)
(mem.), is nugatory. See Obergefell v. Himes, No. 14-3057, Appellee Brief, ECF No. 45 at 52-54
and Henry v. Himes, No. 14-3464, Appellee Brief, ECF No. 67 at 39.

The decision not to hear these cases brings or will bring (after additional legal filings)
the total percentage of Americans living in states that, according to majority vote or binding legal
precedent, allow marriage between same-sex couples to 60.14%
