Yes. On October 21, 2014, United States District Judge Juan Perez-Gimenez dismissed a challenge to Puerto Rico's ban on same-sex marriage. This allows the Plaintiffs to appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit, where every state in the jurisdiction has already legalized same-sex marriage.
