Counsel for Intervenor-Defendant
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA NORFOLK DIVISION
TIMOTHY B. BOSTIC, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JANET M. RAINEY, in her official capacity as State Registrar of Vital Records, et al., Defendants, and MICHLE B. MCQUIGG, in her official capacity as Prince William County Clerk of Circuit Court, Proposed Intervenor-Defendant. Civil Action No. 2:13-cv-395
DECLARATION OF MICHLE B. MCQUIGG IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTERVENE
Case 2:13-cv-00395-AWA-LRL Document 72-1 Filed 12/20/13 Page 1 of 3 PageID# 624
2 I, Michle B. McQuigg, swear to the following facts under the penalty of perjury: 1. I have been the Clerk of Circuit Court in Prince William County, Virginia since 2008. By statute, my position and official responsibilities include enforcing Virginias Marriage Laws. Specifically, my duties include ensuring that applicants for marriage licenses meet all the statutory and constitutional requirements for marriage under state lawonly then am I legally permitted to issue marriage licenses to prospective applicants. 2. As the Prince William County Circuit Court Clerk, an elected and independent constitutional officer, I have significantly protectable interests that may be impaired in the pending litigation, and that those interests will not be adequately represented by any other party defendant. 3. I do not believe that State Registrar of Vital Records Janet M. Rainey will adequately represent my interests going forward. The incoming Attorney General, Mark Herring, who will be continuing the representation of Registrar Rainey, has explicitly stated that he would work to change Virginias Marriage Laws. Given this statement, it is doubtful whether he will provide a zealous defense of Virginias Marriage Laws, or whether he will appeal any ruling adverse to those laws. 4. Nor do I believe that Clerk of Court for Norfolk Circuit Court George E. Schaefer, III, will adequately represent my interests. While Clerk Schaefer has raised pertinent issues, and has asserted some of the compelling and legitimate government interests furthered by Virginias Marriage Laws in his brief, he neither raised all the interests and arguments previously upheld by other courts, nor extensively developed or explained the asserted interests, as I would have done. This creates the reasonable prospect that even if Clerk Schaefer were to appeal an Case 2:13-cv-00395-AWA-LRL Document 72-1 Filed 12/20/13 Page 2 of 3 PageID# 625 adverse ruling, he would not as zealously and comprehensively defend Virginia' s Marriage Laws as I would to protect my interests as the Prince William County Circuit Court Clerk. 5. I am concerned that a statewide injunction against the enforcement of Virginia' s Marriage Laws without my involvement as a party defendant would create significant confusion and uncertainty for me in the performance of my legal duties regarding marriage. It is unclear to me whether, in such a situation, 1 would have a duty to follow Virginia' s Marriage Laws or to follow the ruling of this Court. Such confusion and uncertainty would materially disrupt and impede the performance of my official duties relating to marriage. I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and under the laws of the United States of America, that the foregoing facts are true and correct.
