UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
NORTHERN DIVISION
CASE NO. 15-CV-00044-00
MILLER, et al.,

PLAINTIFF

V.
DAVIS, et al.,

DEFENDANT
STATUS REPORT

Comes now the Hon. Michael B. Fox, appointed CJA counsel for Kristy Plank,
(previous  court  documents  have  identified  Mrs.  Plank  as  “Crissy”), Rowan County
Deputy Clerk and hereby submits the following status report pursuant to the Court’s
order of September 7, 2015:
Counsel and Mrs. Plank have had regular contact with one another since
September 7, 2015. Mrs. Plank’s primary duties are to file motor vehicle documents
and assist motor vehicle dealers. To date, Mrs. Plank has not been called upon to issue
any marriage licenses and therefore has not done so. Mrs. Plank reported to counsel
that  the  marriage  license  form  utilized  by  the  Rowan  County  Clerk’s  Office  was  altered  
after Defendant Davis was released from incarceration and prior to the issuance of any
marriage licenses.
As of this filing, Mrs. Plank reports that, to the best of her knowledge, all
requests for marriage licenses requested by legally qualified couples have been issued.
The only denial of a marriage license application that has occurred within the last two
weeks was to a gentleman who stated that he wanted a license that would permit him to
marry “Jesus”. When it was explained to the individual that both parties had to be

present, he stated,  “Jesus  is  always  present”.    After  being  denied, the gentleman
returned later and presented a type of Power of Attorney document issued by his church
granting him authority to sign “Jesus’” name. Since both parties were not present
these requests were denied.
WHEREFORE, on behalf of Mrs. Kristy Plank, counsel respectfully request that
the above status report be accepted by the Court.

Respectfully Submitted,
