Following a judge-ordered preliminary injunction against the Trump campaign's use of Isaac Hayes' music, the campaign has filed an emergency motion to postpone the scheduled deposition.

The dispute centers around the campaign's repeated use of "Hold On, I'm Coming" at various events, including the Republican National Convention in July. Isaac Hayes III, representing Isaac Hayes Enterprises, initiated legal action after the campaign ignored cease-and-desist requests.

The Trump campaign's motion argues several key points for postponement:

• The deposition is premature following the preliminary injunction ruling
• Inadequate preparation time for defendants
• Plaintiffs haven't specified examination matters or provided required BMI documents
• Concerns over proper party representation regarding Turning Point USA, Inc.

The campaign's attorney, Ronald Coleman, expressed desire for a cooperative process moving forward. The motion requests immediate court decision due to the deposition's scheduled date.

This case runs parallel to another ongoing music-related lawsuit against Trump, where Eddy Grant seeks $300,000 in damages for unauthorized use of "Electric Avenue" in a Biden-targeted campaign video that received 13.7 million views before removal.
