A law suit was filed in New York on June 3rd to challenge the decision of New York Governor to recognize same-sex unions.

It is argued that the Legislature was the sole branch of government which could have made such decision, and that the Governor, who is the executive power of the state of New York, usurped legislative authority.

The report of the New York Times can be found here.
