Before: MOORE and GIBBONS, Circuit Judges, and MILLS, District Judge.*

       RICHARD 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, 2005 WL 843905, **8 (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 (unpublished), citing Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38;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 Honorable Richard Mills, United States District Judge for the Central District of
Illinois, sitting by designation.

                                                1
      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.
