Trump loses bid for appeals court bid to rehear E. Jean Carroll case

Two 2nd Circuit judges dissented from Friday’s decision not to grant a so-called en banc rehearing of the case.

Their written dissent said the panel “sanctioned striking departures” from legal precedent “to justify the irregular judgment in this case.”

Both dissenting judges, Steven Menashi and Michael Park, were appointed by Trump in 2019, during his first term in the White House.

Trump’s last chance to challenge the case is to ask the Supreme Court to hear his appeal. There is no automatic right to appeal to the Supreme Court.
