TO THE PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Civ. L.R. 6.3 Defendant-Intervenors Hollingsworth, Knight, Gutierrez, Jansson, and ProtectMarriage.com (Proponents) hereby move this Court to expedite its consideration of Proponents motion for a stay pending appeal. Proponents respectfully request that the Court decide that motion as soon as possible and no later than September 29, 2011. Proponents have moved the Court to stay its order unsealing the video-recording of the trial in this case. Pursuant to the local rules, that motion is noticed for the next available date on this Courts calendar at least 35 days from today. But absent a further stay, the Courts order will be executed before that date, on September 30, 2011. Docket No. 812, at 14. Once the video-recording has been unsealed, it will be widely disseminated, and Proponents will be unable to obtain effective appellate relief. To avoid that harm, Proponents request that the Court grant our motion no later than September 29, 2011.

I, Howard C. Nielson, Jr., declare as follows: 1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia and am admitted pro hac vice in this case. I am a partner at the law firm of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC, counsel of record for Defendant-Intervenors Dennis Hollingsworth, Gail Knight, Martin Gutierrez, Mark Jansson, and ProtectMarriage.com (Proponents). I make this declaration in support of Proponents Motion to Shorten Time. 2. The harms that will occur absent an order shortening time are the harms described in Proponents motion for a stay pending appeal. See Motion for Stay Pending Appeal (Sept. 23, 2011). 3. The underlying dispute is whether an order unsealing a video-recording of the trial in this case should be stayed pending appeal. Due to the exigencies of the situation, Proponents have not contacted the other parties seeking a stipulation to shorten time or their position on the merits of the underlying motion. 4. I am aware of five previous time modifications in the case, three by Court order, see Doc. No. 170, Doc. No. 769, and Doc. No. 772, and two by stipulation, see Doc. Nos. 266, 615. 5. The requested time modification would affect the schedule of this case by giving the Court an opportunity to decide Proponents motion for a stay pending appeal before the video-recording is unsealed. I declare, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States, that these facts are true and correct and that this Declaration is executed this twenty-third day of September, 2011, at Washington, D.C.

Dated: September 23, 2011 /s/ Howard C. Nielson, Jr. Howard C. Nielson, Jr.
