Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is asking a state court to throw out a lawsuit challenging New York's same-sex marriage law.
Opponents of the law filed suit claiming the State Senate violated its own rules and the state's open meetings law before the July vote legalizing gay marriage.
In papers filed Friday, Schneiderman argued the law's opponents have not been harmed by it and that procedural actions of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the senate are not subject to judicial review.
Schneiderman has requested a hearing on the matter next month.
