MOREHEAD, Ky. (WDRB) -- Harry Mihet, one of the attorneys for Rowan County clerk Kim Davis, is expected to address the media at 1 p.m. today outside the Rowan County courthouse.Â
Mihet will discuss County Clerk Kim Davis's plans to move forward with her pending appeals, including Judge David Bunning's expansion of his injunction order.
There are several appeals pending, which include (1) a challenge to Judge Bunning's original Injunction ordering Kim Davis to issue marriage licenses, (2) Kim Davis's federal suit against Gov. Steven Beshear requesting a reasonable accommodation, (3) the Contempt Order that remanded Kim Davis to jail for six days, and (4) the challenge to Judge Bunning's expansion of the original Injunction that went beyond the plaintiffs to essentially include the entire world.

Davis returned to work on Monday after being jailed for several days by Judge Bunning. She greeted the media with her own prepared remarks, saying she had no intention of interfering with other clerks in her office who choose to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples --Â but she says she is not authorizing them and questions whether they are valid.
Davis, an Apostolic Christian, stopped issuing licenses after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, in defiance of a series of court orders.
Judge Bunning held her in contempt and ordered her to jail. In her absence, her deputies have issued at least seven licenses to gay couples.
