Trump was found guilty on 30 May of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in an effort to sway the 2016 election.
The prosecution said Trump falsely listed reimbursements to his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, who gave the adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 (£104,000) for her silence about a purported affair with Trump, as "legal expenses".
Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump's case, did not provide a new sentencing date in his one-page scheduling order yesterday.
Merchan said Trump's lawyers had to file their argument for dismissal by end of business on 2 December. Prosecutors have one week to respond.
The development came in the wake of filings from prosecutors and defense lawyers over their views of how Trump's case should proceed after he won the 2024 election against Kamala Harris.
Trump's lawyers asked Merchan to throw out the case on Tuesday, contending that dismissal was necessary "in order to facilitate the orderly transition of executive power".
Todd Blanche, Trump's lead attorney and choice for deputy US attorney general, and Emil Bove, the president-elect's pick for principal associate deputy attorney general, complained that the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg's team "appears to not yet be ready to dismiss this politically motivated and fatally flawed case".
