A California Superior Court ordered Morris to pay $50,000 to former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo over a 2022 phone-call dispute.
The case collapsed after Morris failed to prove Ziegler had impersonated a Democratic strategist to obtain information about Hunter Biden's laptop, ending a three-year legal fight.
Ziegler's lawyer has petitioned the US Supreme Court to review California's anti-SLAPP law, while Ziegler's side says it can seek a debtor's exam if Morris does not pay within 30 days.
