DENVER — The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the Utah Attorney General’s request for an extra month to file in a case involving same-sex marriage recognition in Utah.
The decision by Judges Gorsuch and Bacharach gives the state until Oct. 22 to make its first filings in the case, which centers around same-sex marriages performed in Utah after Amendment 3 was overturned.

An analysis of public records by FOX 13 found that in the 17 days after Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage was overturned, more than 1,200 gay and lesbian couples married across the state.
Utah is currently appealing the 10th Circuit Court’s ruling that declared Amendment 3 unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court could decide to take up the case.
