Voting 5-4, Supreme Court denies Donald Trump's motion to stay his New York state sentencing

Via this order, the Supreme Court this afternoon turned back Prez-Elect Donald Trump's motion to stay his state court sentencing in Trump v. New York.  The Court was divided 5-4, and her is the full order:

The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied for, inter alia, the following reasons.  First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal.  Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing.

Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would grant the application.
