How could any judge assess a scumbag grifter billionaire and not force a motion for expedited payment? There's no reason this should be delayed.
Why the fuck does she have to ask
She's asking the lower appeals court to speed up the process of finalizing the appeal judgement in her favor.
When a circuit appeals court makes a decision, that decision doesn't become final until a separate piece of paper called the "mandate" is issued.
If she didn't make this request the mandate would be issued anyway within a certain time frame, like 30 days or so. She just wants it to happen faster.
It sounds like Trump is thinking about annoying the supreme court with a motion to reconsider. If he does that, he would also file a counter motion in the circuit court to delay the mandate issuance.

If Sandy Hook families have not received anything from Alex fatfuck Jones yet, this woman will never see a dime.
Should receive plus interest!
For a guy that has gained billions from bilking his donors with crypto schemes since taking office, he is a penny miser. Just pay the money and be done with it.
It's no surprise though, he was one of 26 wealthy people who cashed in a $1.11 cheque, one of 13 wealthy people to cash in a 64 cent cheque and one of two people to cash a 13 cent cheque back when Spy magazine ran a prank to see how penny pinching rich people were.
Hahahaha, that last part is new on me and incredible! Thanks for sharing
Trump: “The new ballroom will cost $500 million….. what?…. it will cost $505 million.”
Even if that happened and the $505M was allocated, he STILL wouldn’t pay
Yeah, it’s a point of pride by now. His narcissism means he’ll resent being ordered to do it, and will pull every tactic he can to deny and delay. He can easily scrounge up the money, but he doesn’t want to. So he’ll delay until the courts start putting liens on his assets. And even then, the lien would only take effect once he sells the affected asset, so he could just refuse to ever sell it.
They should garnish his Presidential salary just for the principle of it. I bet that would irk him more than the $$.
I so wish she was trying to get her settlement from his estate.
The money should be held by the court in an appeal bond. Hopefully she doesn't have to try to extract it from Trump directly.
