Can a court imposed fine like this be appealed?

Yes, but the question is will an appeals court take it?

She absolutely MUST fight this tooth and nail.
It IS intimidation.

Judges cannot decide what cases are frivolous without considering the evidence.

As I understand it, she has a "right" to appeal, which means that the 11th Circuit has to "take" the appeal. So, while the 11th Circuit could elect to summarily dispose of the appeal and/or to impose sanctions for filing a frivolous appeal, it has to take the appeal and consider it to at least some extent.

If she loses in the 11th Circuit, she may file a petition for writ of certiorari in the US Supreme Court, although she doesn't have a "right" to appeal there.
