The New York Court of Appeals has denied a motion filed by President-elect Trump to stay the Jan. 10 sentencing in the New York v. Trump case.

In their Thursday response to the defense’s Court of Appeals filing, Manhattan prosecutors claim Trump counsel is relying on federal procedure and federal cases that do not apply in a New York state criminal proceeding in their attempts to assert sentencing is precluded by presidential immunity.

The New York Court of Appeals has denied President-elect Donald Trump's request to halt his sentencing Friday in his criminal hush money case.

New York’s highest appeals court declined to block Donald Trump’s sentencing in his felony conviction, leaving the Supreme Court as Trump's likely last option.

That sentencing is scheduled to take place Friday in Manhattan, where Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May.

Trump hoped that an appellate judge would ice the proceedings in his Manhattan hush money case. He’s due to be sentenced on Friday.

Trump is now waiting to see if the Supreme Court will intervene at his behest and stop the proceeding from going forward on Friday.

Trump asked a New York appeals court to dismiss his hush money conviction, citing immunity and arguing sentencing before his inauguration violates the law.

President-elect Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to call off Friday's sentencing in his hush money case in New York.

Lawyers for Donald Trump argued that the president-elect would be irreparably harmed if sentenced in the New York criminal case.

The move leaves the US Supreme Court as the president-elect’s likely last option to prevent the hearing from taking place Friday.

The president-elect is due to be sentenced Friday morning for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
