It looks like Wood threw in the towel and gave up his law license.
>>>Attorney Lin Wood, who filed legal challenges seeking to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss, is relinquishing his law license, electing to retire from practicing rather than face possible disbarment. Multiple states have weighed disciplining him for pushing Trump’s false claims that he defeated Joe Biden.
On Tuesday, Wood asked officials in his home state of Georgia to “retire” his law license in light of “disciplinary proceedings pending against me.” In the request, made in a letter and posted on his Telegram account, Wood acknowledges that he is “prohibited from practicing law in this State and in any other state or jurisdiction and that I may not reapply for admission.”<<<

In upholding sanctions against Powell and the other five lawyers, the appeals court said the defendants in the suit gave the lawyers a chance to abandon their frivolous claims, but they did not take advantage of the opportunity. Because they didn’t, the 6th Circuit said,
it was upholding many of the sanctions against them under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.<<<

As noted in the ABA article, the judge who authored the 6th Circuit opinion was on Trump's short list for the U.S. Supreme Court. In other words, the judge is clearly not a flaming liberal of some sort.
