Michael P. Allen, an associate dean at the Stetson University College of Law, said the Greenberg Traurig firm is technically right: Hinkle's order applies only to the defendants named in the suit: Florida's surgeon general, who records an individual's marital status on death certificates; Florida's secretary of the Department of Management Services, who administers state-employee retirement benefits; and the clerk of the Panhandle's Washington County, the one who would not give Schlairet and Russ a marriage license.
