Trump was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. He has denied any liaison with Daniels or any wrongdoing.
Trump’s arguments against the verdict, meanwhile, can be handled as part of the regular appeals process, the majority found.
Trump’s lawyers had argued that evidence used in the Manhattan trial violated last summer’s Supreme Court ruling giving Trump broad immunity from prosecution over acts he took as president.
Prosecutors said there was no reason for the court to take the “extraordinary step” of intervening in a state case now.
The decision comes a day after Justice Alito confirmed that he took a phone call from Trump the day before the president-elect’s lawyers filed their emergency motion before the high court. The justice said the call was about a clerk, not any upcoming or current cases.
