WASHINGTON - A judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against his dry cleaner over a pair of missing pants has lost his job, District of Columbia officials said.

Roy Pearson's term as an administrative law judge expired May 2 and the D.C. Commission on Selection and Tenure of Administrative Law Judges has voted not to reappoint him, Lisa Coleman, the city's general counsel, wrote Nov. 8 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Associated Press.

Pearson was one of about 30 judges who worked in the Office of Administrative Hearings, which handles disputes involving city agencies. He had held his position for two years.

The Washington Post and The (Washington) Examiner, citing sources familiar with the case, reported the commission's decision last month.

Pearson's lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court claimed Custom Cleaners, owned by South Korean immigrants, did not live up to Pearson's expectations of "Satisfaction Guaranteed," as advertised in store windows.

Pearson demanded repayment for the lost pants, as well as damages for inconvenience, mental anguish and attorney's fees for representing himself. He calculated his losses initially at $67 million but lowered his request to $54 million.

Pearson did not immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press requesting comment.

Did the shop go out of business? It seems that the owners should have a pretty good case against him for ruining their business. I can't imagine any jury not deciding in their favor.

pair of pants = 50 dollars

i'm glad to see that the judge got pwned, especially cuz they made him pay for the court fees and lawyers fees for the korean couple. but it still sux that he was even able to bring that absurd of a lawsuit as far as it did. he totally ruined their lives for months while the suit was pending. that dude should be tarred and feathered.

He was probably so egotistical that he thought that since hes a judge he could do anything. Classic "God" complex
