O R D E R
Before: KEITH, ROGERS, and DONALD, Circuit Judges.
Defendant Kim Davis is before this court seeking review of a preliminary injunction
entered on August 12, 2015, enjoining her, in her official capacity, “from applying her ‘no
marriage licenses’ policy to future marriage license requests submitted by the Plaintiffs.” She
also appeals the September 3, 2015 order modifying the preliminary injunction to enjoin her
from applying her no-marriage-license policy to future marriage license requests submitted by
individuals who are eligible to marry in Kentucky. On August 28, 2015, we denied Davis’s

motion for a stay of the August 12 preliminary injunction pending appeal. She now moves for a
stay pending appeal of the September 3 preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs and the third-party
defendants oppose the motion for a stay.
Davis has not sought a stay pending appeal in the district court as required by Federal
Rule of Appellate Procedure 8(a)(1). Davis argues that it would be impracticable to seek a stay
pending appeal because of the “extraordinary doggedness of the district court to expand the
Injunction, without jurisdiction or fair notice and opportunity to be heard.” This is not valid
reason to excuse moving the district court for a stay pending appeal in the context of this case.
Davis’s motion for a stay of the September 3 preliminary injunction pending appeal is
DENIED for failure to comply with Rule 8(a)(1).
