A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that Sidney Powell and other attorneys who tried to block President Biden's electoral win in Michigan must comply with nonmonetary sanctions imposed by a federal judge.

A group of six pro-Trump lawyers had asked the 6th Circuit to stop enforcement of the sanctions determination ahead of the Friday deadline.

In a brief order, a three-judge appellate panel blasted the attorneys for failing to seek relief directly from U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who imposed the penalties in August.

The panel wrote that they waited more than two months to seek a stay, knowing the February 25 deadline was imminent.

Lawyers were ordered to complete at least 12 hours of legal education as part of their punishment for filing a lawsuit targeting Michigan's voting results, which the judge said represented a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process.

The Michigan-based suit on behalf of Trump accused public officials of manipulating ballots in order to help Biden get elected.

The attorneys involved in the litigation were ordered to pay $175,000 in legal fees, though they agreed to pause enforcement of the payments while appeals play out.

The costs were ordered to be divided among the nine attorneys, who included Powell and Lin Wood, two of the more prominent proponents of former President Trump's false claims about the 2020 election results.

The 6th Circuit ruled on Thursday that Wood and two other attorneys were not parties to the matter.

Powell didn't respond to the request for comment.
