Former President Donald Trump does not plan to appear at the U.S. Supreme Court as the justices hear arguments on whether he can be removed from state ballots over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments Thursday on the matter after Colorados highest court found Trump ineligible to appear on its presidential primary ballot. The decision marked the first time a court had used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to block a presidential candidate from running for office.

Though Trump has blasted that decision and a similar move by Maines secretary of state , he isnt likely to repeat the disruptive behavior seen during the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial and at a civil fraud case over his business practices, CNN reported Tuesday. The former president voluntarily sat in court during the two cases but regularly berated the judges , attacked the proceedings and even stormed out during closing arguments presented by the attorneys for Carroll, a writer who accused Trump of raping her in 1996.
