NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York appeals court on Thursday refused to delay Donald Trump's scheduled Oct. 2 civil fraud trial, after the former U.S.

The decision was issued by the Appellate Division, a mid-level appeals court in Manhattan.

James is seeking at least $250 million in penalties, a ban against Trump and his sons Donald Jr and Eric from running businesses in New York, and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump and the Trump Organization. The judge said the defendants were living in"a fantasy world, not the real world," as they made up valuations for properties including Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida and Trump Tower penthouse in Manhattan.He also ordered the cancellation of certificates that let some of Trump's businesses operate.

James countered that Trump's annual financial statements reflected some of those earlier claims, and that she could sue over his"continuing wrongs."
