 Plaintiffs,

vs. CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-0208-CG-N

LUTHER STRANGE, in his capacity 

as Attorney General for the State of 

Alabama,

ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Lift Stay (Doc. 

67) and The Attorney General’s Response (Doc. 68). On this date, the 

Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Attorney General’s motion for 

stay pending appeal in this case, and in the companion case of Strawser v. 

Attorney General, State of Alabama1, which the Court of Appeals 

consolidated with the appeal in this case. Plaintiffs then moved to lift the 

stay imposed by this court and the Attorney General responded, saying he is 

seeking a stay from the U.S. Supreme Court and further seeks to avoid any 

confusion by an abrupt termination in the stay entered herein.

Plaintiffs’ motion for an immediate lift of the stay is DENIED. If the 

Supreme Court denies a stay or does not rule before February 9, 2015, this 

court’s stay will still remain in place until that date to allow the Probate 

 1 Southern District of Alabama Case No. 14-00424.
