Trump going to sue Merchan

Court records showed on Monday that Mr. Trump was filing an action against the judge, Juan M. Merchan, though the papers were not immediately made public. An online court docket where Mr. Trump is expected to file the so-called Article 78 action — a special proceeding that can be used to challenge New York state government agencies and judges — showed that the related paperwork was sealed.

Mr. Trump’s unorthodox move — essentially an appeal in the form of a lawsuit — is unlikely to succeed, particularly so close to trial.

This latest effort to stop the Manhattan case — the first prosecution of a former U.S. president, and possibly Mr. Trump’s only criminal case to make it to trial this year — comes as Mr. Trump is separately calling on Justice Merchan to recuse himself from the case.

His desperation increases...

3. Why can't the Appeals court sit on this appeal

until after the trial starts, just like the Supreme Court is doing?

8. They could but the opinions are leaning...

..towards they won't. So far, the only judges helping with the delay tactics are Cannon and SCOTUS.
