California gay marriage opponents have acted to re-impose a ban on gay marriage.
Gay weddings, which resumed across California on the weekend, may once again have to be called off.
On Friday, in a historic ruling for gay marriage, a federal appeals court in San Francisco lifted a ban that had been in place since 2008.
On Saturday, opponents of same-sex marriage in California filed an emergency petition to the US Supreme Court to try to halt any further gay weddings in the state.
Opponents have said the appeals court should have, by law, allowed them more time to appeal before the lifting of the ban.
A group called Alliance Defending Freedom has said the Supreme Court should now overrule the order by the appeals court because, by law, it had 25 days to challenge the original Supreme Court ruling.
The gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, was approved by voters in 2008, months after California's Supreme court decided such unions were legal.
Last Wednesday the Supreme Court ruled that a private party, such as Alliance Defending Freedom, would have to demonstrate it would suffer injury if same-sex marriages were allowed.
