and Garth Wangemann, Charvonne Kemp and Marie Carlson, Judith Trampf and Katharina Heyning, Salud Garcia and Pam Kleiss, William Hurtubise and Leslie Palmer, and Johannes Wallmann and Keith Borden (collectively, Plaintiffs) respectfully move this Court for summary judgment on all counts in Plaintiffs Amended Complaint (Dkt # 26). Plaintiffs request that this Court enter judgment: (A) declaring that Article XIII, 13 of the Wisconsin Constitution and all provisions

of the Wisconsin marriage laws (Wis. Stat. ch. 765) that refer to marriage as a relationship between a husband and a wife and operate as a statutory ban on marriage for same-sex couples violate the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution (Amendment XIV, 1) by preventing Plaintiffs from lawfully marrying in the State of Wisconsin and by preventing the recognition of Plaintiffs marriages lawfully entered into outside of the State; (B) permanently enjoining all Defendants from enforcing Article XIII, 13 and any

other sources of state law that operate to exclude same-sex couples from marriage or to deny recognition of the marriages of same-sex couples validly contracted in another jurisdiction; (C) permanently enjoining Defendants Van Hollen, Chisholm, and King from

enforcing Wisconsins marriage evasion statute against same-sex couples who marry outside of Wisconsin; (D) awarding Plaintiffs the costs and expenses of this action together with reasonable

attorneys fees; and (E) entering such other and further relief as deemed appropriate by the Court.
