“If the trial here is delayed at all, there is a significant risk that defendants will request further delays of trial based on the deadlines in these other cases. Indeed, defendants already appear to be attempting to play one court against the other,” the motion reads.

#Trump's filing to #AD1 also sought an immediate stay of #Engoron's decision canceling some of the Trump entities' #business certificates & dissolving various #LLCs, calling the move "corporate death sentences."

It asserts that a #stay is needed bc #Engoron misapplied an #AD1 ruling on statute of limitations issues.

A "stay of trial is necessary to avoid Supreme Court proceeding further on dismissed claims, to avoid an avalanche of compounding errors, & to afford Appellants any semblance of process, let alone the due process guaranteed to any litigant regardless of status or social standing.”

Both sides have until the end of Oct to suggest #receivers to oversee the #dissolution of the #LLCs.

More on the #stay & #dismissal filing:

The filing to stay called the ruling a "grave miscarriage of justice."

"The far-reaching implications of its unprecedented directives are of staggering consequence to Appellants.”

The filing called the move "corporate death sentences,” & said that Engoron did not have the authority.
