New York has the power to annul a civil union made in another state, a midlevel appeals court has ruled.

he case concerns two Schenectady County residents, Audrey Juanita Dickerson and Sonya Denise Thompson, who traveled to Vermont in April 2003 and entered into a civil union. In 2000, Vermont was the first in the nation to pass a civil unions law. Last year, the Green Mountain State passed legislation allowing same-sex marriage.
