Engoron Starts the Clock on Appeal

Judge Arthur Engoron’s signed judgment was posted to the court docket Friday, one week after he found Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump liable for fraud in the civil case brought by New York Attorney General Letita James.

Once Trump and the others are served with the judgment, the 30-day clock for them to file an appeal starts. During that period Trump will need to put up cash or post bond to cover the $355 million and additional roughly $100 million in interest he was ordered to pay.

This is a ludicrous situation. A court needs to intervene to set aside the penalty as the obvious Eighth Amendment violation it is so that Trump doesn't need to transfer a half-billion dollars to the government of New York just to have his case heard.
