 On February 14, two same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses in Jefferson County, Timothy Love, Lawrence Ysunza, Maurice Blanchard, and Dominique James, asked to be allowed to intervene in the suit because their challenge to Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage within the state raises substantially the same arguments as the original suit.On February 27, 2014, before the final order was issued, the state attorney general asked Judge Heyburn to stay enforcement of his "Bourke" order for 90 days, noting that even if the state does not appeal the decision it needs time to implement it.Judge Heyburn issued a final order in "Bourke" on the same day ordering the state to recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions at once, which created de jure legalization of recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages; being a final order it was then immediately subject to appeal.
