Yes. On October 18, 2012, the 2d Circuit, in Windsor v. US, ruled that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") is unconstitutional. The case is now on appeal to the United States Supreme Court which hasn't said whether they will hear it yet. In another case before the 2d Circuit, Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management, Summary Judgment was entered in favor of Plaintiff on August 2, 2012 and that case has also been appealed to the SCOTUS.
