U.S. District Judge Linda Parker said the request was “stunning in its scope and breathtaking in its reach.”
The lawsuit sought to decertify those results and have voting machines impounded.
The lawsuit was “frivolous” and exposed the legal profession to “contempt,” the Grievance Commission said in its complaint. Three of the nine lawyers are licensed in Michigan while Powell, Lin and others are licensed in other states or the District of Columbia. It’s unclear what sanctions could be ordered against lawyers who practice outside Michigan.
Wood’s name was on the 2020 lawsuit, but he has insisted that the only role he played was telling Powell he was available if she needed a seasoned litigator. Powell defended the lawsuit and said lawyers sometimes have to raise what she called “unpopular issues.” After dismissing the case, Parker ordered the nine lawyers to attend 12 hours of legal education, including six hours in election law. She also ordered $175,000 in legal fees to be paid, mostly to the city of Detroit. Those sanctions are being appealed.
