FINAL JUDGMENT July 14, 2014
Before:
RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge FRANK H. EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge CENTER FOR INQUIRY, INCORPORATED, et al., Plaintiffs - Appellants
No.: 12-3751
v. MARION CIRCUIT COURT CLERK, et al., Defendants - Appellees
Originating Case Information: District Court No: 1:12-cv-00623-SEB-DML Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division District Judge Sarah Evans Barker
The judgment is REVERSED, with costs, and the case is REMANDED with instructions to issue an injunction allowing certified secular humanist celebrants to solemnize marriages in Indiana—to do this with legal effect, and without risk of criminal penalties. That is the relief plaintiffs request, and defendants have not made a counterproposal. If Indiana amends its statute to allow notaries to solemnize marriages, the district court should be receptive to a motion to modify the injunction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5) to minimize the extent to which a federal decree supersedes the state’s own solution to the problems we have identified. The above is in accordance with the decision of this court entered on this date.
