“By virtue of President Trump’s filing of appellate proceedings raising his claims of Presidential immunity, all proceedings in this Court are automatically stayed by operation of federal constitutional law. In the alternative, even if such a stay were discretionary, the Court should grant such a stay. The Court should vacate the sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10, 2025, and suspend all further deadlines in the case until President Trump’s immunity appeals are fully and finally resolved, which should result in a dismissal of this case, which should have never been brought in the first place. Further, President Trump respectfully requests that this Court notify the parties by Monday, January 6, 2025, at 2 pm, whether the Court intends to proceed with the sentencing hearing on January 10, 2025, which should not occur, notwithstanding President Trump’s interlocutory appeal on immunity, to allow sufficient time for President Trump to seek an emergency appellate review,” wrote convicted felon President-Elect Trump’s shitbag lawyers in a Monday notice of intent to appeal Judge Juan Merchan’s ruling upholding the guilty verdict.
By all means they should drag this out as long as possible so that Merchan can change his mind about not sentencing the fat fuck to incarceration in a state penitentiary in 2029.
