Pants Suit Judge Taken to Cleaners

The judge who sued a Washington D.C. dry cleaners for $54 million because they lost his pants is about to lose his job:

Roy L. Pearson Jr., whose $54 million lawsuit against a Northeast Washington dry-cleaning shop was rejected in court, is about to lose his job as an administrative law judge, sources said last night.

A city commission voted yesterday against reappointing Pearson to the bench of the Office of Administrative Hearings, which hears cases involving various D.C. boards and agencies. Pearson, who was up for a 10-year term, had tried to hold on to the job.

He clearly abused the judicial system and doesn't have the temperment necessary to continue as a judge. Justice is served by getting rid of him.
