July 23 (Reuters) - Donald Trump ally and MyPillow.com chief executive Mike Lindell on Wednesday persuaded a U.S. appeals court to throw out a judge’s order requiring him to pay $5 million to a software developer who said he debunked Lindell's 2020 election fraud claims.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis said an arbitration panel improperly interpreted the rules of a contest Lindell set up and oversaw challenging anyone to disprove his claims that Trump won the election.

The appeals court panel reversed, opens new tab a federal judge who last year confirmed the arbitrators' 2023 award to Robert Zeidman.

A lawyer for Zeidman, Brian Glasser, in a statement said the 8th Circuit’s ruling contradicted the “unanimous contrary decision of three arbitrators who heard all the evidence, including one appointed by Mr. Lindell.”
