A New York appeals court judge denied Trump’s request to pause all proceedings in his Manhattan criminal case, as he tries to convince an appeals court that the guilty verdict against him—on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—should be thrown out.

The ruling means that Trump’s sentencing will take place at 9:30 a.m. EST as previously scheduled, despite the president-elect’s effort to halt it.

Trump has argued that his impending presidency should nullify the proceedings against him and that he should be immune from the charges against him under the Supreme Court’s ruling giving him some immunity from criminal charges—which Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw his trial, has already rejected.

The appeals court’s ruling came after a hearing on Tuesday in Manhattan, in which Trump’s lawyers argued the case should be paused because Trump also has immunity as the president-elect, also claiming Merchan’s rulings upholding the verdict are “causing ongoing, irreparable harm by depriving President Trump of his constitutional rights.”

The appeals court has not yet issued a ruling explaining its decision to let the sentencing go forward, only noting that Trump’s request to pause proceedings was denied “after consideration of the papers submitted and extensive oral argument.”
