    FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA


    CARA PALLADINO and ISABELLE
    BARKER,
    Plaintiffs,
    v.
    THOMAS W. CORBETT, in his official
    capacity as Governor of Pennsylvania, and his
    successors in office; and KATHLEEN KANE,
    in her official capacity as Attorney General of
    Pennsylvania, and her successors in office,
    Defendants.
    CIVIL ACTION
    No. 2:13-cv-05641-MAM
    STIPULATED ORDER OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
    In light of the May 20, 2014 Memorandum Opinion and Order entered in Whitewood v.
    Wolf, No. 1:13-cv-1861, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 68771 (M.D. Pa. May 20, 2014), declaring
    (inter alia) that 23 Pa.C.S. 1704 violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States
    Constitution, and permanently enjoining the enforcement thereof, the parties have stipulated and
    moved to dismiss this action by court order under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4l(a)(2).
    Under the decision in Whitewood v. Wolf, the marriage of Plaintiffs Cara Palladino and
    Isabelle Barker, which was entered into under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
    (as evidenced by a marriage certificate dated February 11, 2005), shall in all respects be deemed
    valid and recognized for all purposes under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
    Accordingly, Defendants agree that they will take no steps to deprive Plaintiffs of the benefits
    accorded by the validity and recognition of their marriage under Pennsylvania law.
