   OPINION

MILLS, District Judge.

On April 12, 2005, the Court granted the Appellees’ motion for sanctions on appeal. See Blachy v. Butcher, 129 Fed.Appx. 173, 175 (6th Cir(Mich.)) (unpublished), citing Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38; 28 U.S.C. § 1927. The Appellees have since filed an affidavit seeking $42,766.25 in attorneys fees. The Appellants have not responded to the Appellees’ affidavit.

The Court has reviewed the Appellees’ affidavit and finds that the amount requested is fair and just. Thus, we ORDER the Appellants to pay the Appellees $42,766.25 for attorneys fees incurred in this cause. See Fed.R.App.P. 38; § 1927.
