Nov. 3 (UPI) -- An appeals court Thursday denied Ivanka Trump's effort to win a temporary stay to avoid testifying at her father's civil business fraud trial in New York. She was ordered to appear Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court for in-person testimony.
She had argued in her appeal that testifying in the middle of a school week would put "undue hardship" on her.
But in a single sentence ruling the appeals court denied the motion to stay her testimony pending a full decision on her appeal.
The New York Appellate Division, First Department said, "Application for interim stay pending decision on the motion is denied."
