Rudy Giuliani on Friday asked a federal judge in New York City to modify the stay of his bankruptcy case to allow him to appeal the $148 million defamation verdict won by former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea’ “Shaye” Moss.
In a 15-page filing, attorney Gary Fischoff asked U.S. Bankruptcy Sean Lane to modify a stay previously issued in February “for the limited purpose” of being able “to prosecute and perfect” their case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. And, the former Donald Trump attorney’s own legal team says, time is of the essence.
On Feb. 20, Lane issued a modification of the stay allowing the debtor to file a motion for a new trial and a notice of appeal. While Giuliani quickly availed himself of signaling his intent to appeal, the judge’s earlier order did not specifically allow a direct appeal.
Now, deadlines loom in the capital district’s federal court of appeals.
