Well I wasn't prepared to start posing this kind of stuff myself because if *I* were the one who posted it, I would surely be under cross-examination from the usual suspects.

Is this for the first or second verdict?

I believe that Trump has posted bond for this appeal, so there is no financial benefit from a delay. They seem to just need more time.

Carroll side has requested the delay to respond to the Trump brief posted already.

 

Just to note from last year's verdict:

 

E. Jean Carroll lawyer says Trump has ‘absolutely zero’ grounds for appeal
 05/10/23 1:27 PM ET

 

E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan said Wednesday that former President Trump has “absolutely zero” grounds for an appeal after a jury found that he defamed Carroll and is liable for sexual abuse of her.

 

“Judge Kaplan is one of the most-respected, fairest judges,” she told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.” “He gave them more process than even anyone else ever gets. He gave Donald Trump multiple chances to come to that courtroom and testify. He refused to do so. He has no appeal.”

30 days from the 8 FEB 2024 Judge Kaplan Judgment and, as best I can tell, he hasn't filed yet.

Trump tells E. Jean Carroll judge he's too rich to have to pay bond

 

I still believe Trump won't appeal this second verdict.

Agreed, he's banking on the appeal to the first case invalidating the second verdict.

One more week to go, and Trump still hasn't filed his appeal.

'It's brutal': Shock and awe follows E. Jean Carroll's court response to Trump

 

E. Jean Carroll's lawyer on Thursday shot back at Donald Trump's request for a pause in paying his court fines after a jury awarded her over $88 million in two defamation cases — and onlookers said she didn't hold back.

Not so fast “Never Trumpers”.

This just in: Trump's appeal of the 83.3 million dollar judgement has been rejected. Kind of got lost amongst all the other Trump legal matters. I wonder if he's tired of all the winning yet.

[jerrymahoney]

To maybe clarify a bit, what was rejected was a motion with the original trial Judge Lewis Kaplan for a new trial for the defamation-only case. Team Trump has yet to file an appeal brief with the NY State Appellate Court on this matter after posting the $90 million Chubb bond

 

The appeal on the sexual assault/defamation case verdict with the $5 million bond paid by Trump in cash is well underway with the NY State Appellate Court. Trump submitted a brief in NOV 2023. Team Carroll filed a reply last month APR. Trump (rebuttal) brief is due next month MAY.

E. Jean Carroll's lawyer says new lawsuit 'on the table' after Trump's Memorial Day shot

 

Looks like round 3 is coming

[jerrymahoney]

Just an update to Carroll v Trump sexual assault verdict appeal, the appeals court has denied a motion by Carroll for expedited decision:

 

Plaintiff (Carroll) has not established good cause to expedite oral argument in this appeal. This appeal does not fall within a category of cases subject to automatic placement on the expedited appeals calendar. Any future attempt to postpone the argument once scheduled would require a showing of “extraordinary circumstances.”

 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s (Carroll) motion is DENIED, and argument in this appeal shall be scheduled in the ordinary course.

 

24 MAY 2024

And just to expand on the above, one reason that Team Carroll wanted to expedite any oral hearing is that she is 80 years old and should not have to endure unnecessary delay.

 

Team Trump replied, what's the big hurry now? You waited about 23 years before filing any claim.

 

And as above: Motion (by Carroll) DENIED
