Seems that she got fined $20,000 for her latest attempt at bringing the the 'birther' scandal to court.

Counsel alleged that Major Cook’s deployment orders were
void and unenforceable because President Barack Obama was not eligible
to hold the office of President and thus was not the legitimate
Commander in Chief. These allegations were based on counsel’s
conclusory allegations that the President was not born in the United
States. As a national leader in the so-called “birther movement,”
Plaintiff’s counsel has attempted to use litigation to provide the
“legal foundation” for her political agenda. She seeks to use the
Court’s power to compel discovery in her efforts to force the
President to produce a “birth certificate” that is satisfactory to
herself and her followers.
Regrettably, the conduct of counsel Orly Taitz has crossed these
lines, and Ms. Taitz must be sanctioned for her misconduct. After a
full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up
to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause
order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be
imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as
a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity
of the Court. Payment shall be made to the United States, through the
Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of
today’s Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S.
Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings.
