The federal judge hearing a challenge to Pennsylvania’s ban on same-sex marriage said he will decide by mid-November if there’s anything left of the case to go to trial.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III of the Middle District of Pennsylvania told a dozen lawyers gathered in his Harrisburg courtroom Wednesday at a case management conference that he plans to order an expedited briefing schedule in the closely watched case. He’ll resolve all motions by the middle of next month, Jones estimated.
