Posture:
Federal removal denial — state conviction and appeal remain

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected another request to move the already-decided New York case to federal court and dismiss it on presidential-immunity grounds. This was a procedural removal ruling, not a new conviction; the state conviction remained in place and separate appellate litigation continued.
