U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan declined a request to grant a stay after a jury ordered Donald Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million for defamation.

“Twenty-five days after the jury verdict in this case, and only shortly before the expiration of Rule 62’s automatic stay of enforcement of the judgment,” Kaplan noted. “Mr. Trump has moved for an ‘administrative stay’ of enforcement pending the filing and disposition of any post-trial motions he may file. He seeks that relief without posting any security.”

“The Court declines to grant any stay, much less an unsecured stay, without first having afforded plaintiff a meaningful opportunity to be heard,” the judge wrote in his one-page order.

    Isn’t she already working on pulling him into court for a third time? He didn’t stop talking shit about her after the first and this verdict. I seriously hope they have some “third time” laws laws there.
