New York Judge Rules Against Gay Marriage
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/022405nyMarr.htm

A New York State judge has dismissed a challenge by 25 same-sex couples to the state's ban on gay marriage.

Judge Robert C. Mulvey ruled that same-sex marriage is the sole prerogative of the Legislature not the courts.

"Social perceptions of same-sex civil contracts may change over time, and every group has the right to persuade its fellow citizens that its view of such matters is the best," Mulvey said in his written ruling. "If that day comes, it is within the province of the Legislature to so act."

3. Called the Court of Appeals in NY.
The Supreme Court is the lowest level general jurisdiction court here.
