According to the Omaha World-Herald, Judge Joseph Bataillon delayed the implementation of his ruling for a week, giving State Attorney General Doug Peterson the opportunity to file an appeal. Peterson did so within hours of the judge’s ruling.

The decision now goes to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
