State Attorney General Jerry Brown filed documents late Friday urging a federal appellate court to allow same-sex marriages to go forward in California on Wednesday, saying there was "overwhelming evidence" that a voter-approved ban on such marriages is unconstitutional.

... Brown's filing was one of several expected to be lodged with the court late Friday saying the unions should go ahead. Brown, as the state's top lawyer, said he would not appeal Walker's ruling and argued that supporters of the same-sex marriage ban had little likelihood of success on appeal.

... San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera and attorneys for same-sex couples were expected to also submit arguments to the court urging the marriages to begin on Wednesday.
