A conservative legal group asked a Sacramento court today to order the California agency that oversees marriages to stop issuing gender-neutral marriage licenses.

The filing came just hours before the state Supreme Court's decision legalizing gay marriage took effect at 5:01 p.m. today, allowing clerks to begin issuing the licenses.

Gary Kreep of the San Diego County-based United States Justice Foundation said his group filed a petition today on behalf of five county supervisors from Yuba, Stanislaus, Nevada and Sutter counties. The petition argues the state Department of Public Health failed to hold legally required public hearings on the licenses and claims legislators must amend state marriage laws before the licenses are valid.

A hearing on the request was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
