A California state appeals court has denied a conservative law group's request that it force Attorney General Jerry Brown and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to defend Proposition 8 in federal court.

A federal appeals court on Monday put a hold on same-sex marriages in California, overruling a federal district judge who had earlier ruled that Proposition 8 -- the state's voter approved ban on gay marriage -- was unconstitutional.

Gay marriage in California could resume next week as a federal judge today denied defendant's motion for a permanent stay to his decision to invalidate Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that reinstated the ban on same-sex marriage, but extended the temporary stay another week.
