NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Sunday declined to stop officials in Utah from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples following a judge's ruling last week that overturned the state's ban on gay marriage.

Something is amiss with the geography here (as well as the substance of the ruling, of course). The dateline of the Reuters story is New York, which could not possibly be the location where a federal circuit court taking an appeal from Utah District Court would sit. IIRC, this appeal would go to the Tenth Circuit, which covers most of the states in the Rocky Mountain West. The article, for some strange reason, does not specify which circuit court and which judge or judges heard the appeal, nor does it tell us where it occurred. Are they hiding something?

That the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, covering New York, declined to issue an injunction in Utah which is out of its jurisdiction, and Reuters is pretending that that’s newsworthy?

It was indeed the 10th circuit that rejected the stay.

Either New York is there because that’s were the story was filed or it was error. Either way it is extremely poor journalism to not name the court in the article. Fail, Reuters.
