WA Marriage Advocates Contemplate Appeal

August 13, 2006

OLYMPIA—Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the disappointing Washington Supreme Court denial of marriage equality are contemplating filing an appeal of that decision.

Under that state's laws, the losing party can file a petition seeking reconsideration of the decision. Normally, the petition would have to be filed by August 15, but the Court has granted a request for more time to file.

The plaintiffs will now have until August 29 to file the motion for reconsideration. Such petitions for reconsideration are rarely granted, but the case is considered too important not to consider all options.
