In state court case, 500+ weddings took place in 2014 when state court initially ruled pro-equality, before state Supreme Court stayed the decision. State Supreme Court decides, 18 Dec or so, to hold off on deciding the case until 2015.

In federal court, federal (district) judge Baker rules in favor of equality, 25 Nov, but stays ruling pending appeal. AR AG appeals to 8th Circuit, 23 Dec.

Two state judges overturn ban; FL AG appeals to state court of appeals, 18 Nov.

Meanwhile, in separate case, ACLU asks federal judge Hinkle (14 Oct) to lift stay; Hinkle maintains stay until 5 Jan 2015 but makes clear that the state must allow weddings starting 6 Jan; FL AG appeals to 11th Circuit, which hasn't responded yet. FL AG also says she won't stand in the way of weddings starting, but she hasn't withdrawn her appeal.

Couples are getting married, as of 6 Jan.

9th Circuit ruled in favor of marriage equality, various appeals failed, and couples are getting married.

However, even though ID gov Otter originally said he wouldn't appeal, he appealed to the full 9th Circuit, en banc (21 Oct). There is very little chance they'll agree to hear the appeal, and as of 2 Jan they haven't responded to the appeal. But ID gov has now appealed to US Supreme Court (2 Jan). And given the 6th Circuit ruling, he could still win. So I've removed this state from the almost-settled category.

(Should be covered by 10th Circuit ruling, but complicated legal maneuvering continues.)

One county judge orders clerks to issue licenses in that county only; one license issued; KS AG asks KS Supreme Court to stop the one county; Court agrees, says no more licenses; Court schedules hearing, then postpones it indefinitely, then says it will begin deliberations 17 Nov.

Meanwhile, separately, ACLU files federal suit to end ban; federal judge Crabtree (district court) rules in favor of equality (4 Nov); KS AG appeals to 10th Circuit; US Supreme Court allows a stay, then lifts stay (12 Nov), allowing couples to marry; however, KS Supreme Court declares that the lifting of the stay only applies to KS counties where a judge in the county allows same-sex marriages. The result, for now, being that couples are getting married in some KS counties but not in others.

Meanwhile, even though the state is issuing marriage licenses in some counties, state agencies refuse to recognize the resulting marriages until the lawsuits are over.

Judge Crabtree tells parties in federal suit that they have to give him a schedule by the end of Jan 2015.

MO state judge Burlison rules in favor of equality, 5 Nov, but decision may apply only in city of St. Louis. Couples in St. Louis are getting married. MO AG will appeal to MO Supreme Court, but is not requesting a stay.

In a separate case, federal (district) judge Smith rules in favor of equality, 7 Nov, but stays ruling pending appeals, but Jackson County starts issuing licenses anyway? I'm not sure whether a stay is or isn't in effect, but couples in Jackson County are getting married. MO AG has appealed to 8th Circuit.

(Should be covered by 9th Circuit ruling, but legal maneuvering continues.)

Federal (district) judge Morris rules in favor of equality, and couples are getting married. However, MT AG will appeal to 9th Circuit, which has already ruled in favor of equality, but things are a bit up in the air right now due to developments in 6th Circuit.

(Should be covered by 4th Circuit ruling, but legal maneuvering continues.)

There are at least three relevant cases in progress, at least two of which are in federal courts. On 12 Nov, federal (district) judge Gergel ruled in favor of equality, but granted a one-week stay to give SC AG a chance to appeal, which he said he would do. On 19 Nov, both SC Supreme Court and 4th Circuit decide against stays; couples are now getting married, although appeals are ongoing.

The two main cases in federal court have been combined into one by the 4th Circuit (around 17 Dec), which then put the case on hold pending further developments from the US Supreme Court.
