    v.

    Brown et al.

    Please briefly describe the dispute that gave rise to this lawsuit.
    Same-sex couples ("Plaintiffs") challenged the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which provides that "[o]nly marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," Cal. Const. art. I, 7.5. Official proponents ("Proponents") of the ballot measure intervened to defend it. When Chief Judge Walker ordered the proceedings to be broadcast in violation of local rule, the Supreme Court granted Proponents' application to stay that decision. Chief Judge Walker then ordered a video-recording of the proceedings to be made with the understanding that it would not be broadcast to the public, and he placed the recording in the record under seal. Plaintiffs subsequently moved to lift the seal.

    Briefly describe the result below and the main issues on appeal.
    Chief Judge Ware granted Plaintiffs' motion to unseal the video-recording of the trial motion. Proponents' appeal presents the question whether the district court erred by ordering the Clerk to lift the seal on the video-recording of the trial in violation of local rule, Judicial Conference policy, and the Supreme Court's decision in this case.

    Describe any proceedings remaining below or any related proceedings in other tribunals.
    This court has temporarily stayed the district courts order pending disposition of our motion for a stay pending appeal. Proponents have two related cases pending in this Court. In No. 10-16696, Proponents appeal the district court's ruling that Proposition 8 violates the Constitution. In No. 11-16577, Proponents appeal the order denying Proponents' motion to vacate on the ground that Chief Judge Walker was disqualified from presiding in this case.
