Groups ask court to halt gender-neutral marriage licenses (again)
Source: Associated Press

Gary Kreep of the San Diego County-based United States Justice Foundation said his group filed a petition today on behalf of five county supervisors from Yuba, Stanislaus, Nevada and Sutter counties.

A hearing on the request was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
