IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA HUNTINGTON DIVISION CASIE JO MCGEE and SARA ELIZABETH ADKINS; JUSTIN MURDOCK and WILLIAM GLAVARIS; and NANCY ELIZABETH MICHAEL and JANE LOUISE FENTON, Individually and as next friends of A.S.M., minor child, Plaintiffs, v.

JOINT MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF DEFENDANTS KAREN S. COLE AND VERA J. MCCORMICK Defendants Karen S. Cole (Ms. Cole), by counsel, Lee Murray Hall, Sarah A. Walling, and Jenkins Fenstermaker, PLLC, and Vera McCormick (Ms. McCormick), by counsel, Charles R. Bailey, Michael W. Taylor, and Bailey & Wyant, PLLC, jointly move this Court pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for an Order denying Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment and granting summary judgment in their favor. As set forth more fully in the Civil Action No. 3:13-24068

Memorandum of Law and Attached Exhibit, filed contemporaneously herewith,

Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that a genuine issue of material fact exists as to their right to the relief requested in their Complaint.

Case 3:13-cv-24068 Document 62 Filed 02/12/14 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 684

Rather, Defendants Cole and McCormick are entitled to summary judgment because: Current, validly enacted West Virginia law mandated Defendants refusal to issue Plaintiffs marriage licenses; The Oath of Office taken by Defendants Cole and McCormick, as well as the duties of their respective offices and threat of legal sanctions and incarceration, requires them to follow current West Virginia law without any ability to exercise discretion; Plaintiffs failure to join necessary parties deprives this Court of its ability to afford Plaintiffs complete relief; and Neither W. Va. Code 48-2-104 nor 48-2-401 violates Plaintiffs constitutional rights, as both statutes are rationally related to a legitimate governmental interest.

Accordingly, Ms. Cole and Ms. McCormick respectfully move this Court to enter an Order granting summary judgment in their favor.
