DC Administrative Judge Roy Pearson, known round the world for suing his dry cleaner for $54 million for allegedly losing a pair of pants, is still collecting his $100,000 per year salary from DC taxpayers, even though his job "expired" back in May.
This week, the owners of the dry cleaners closed the store involved, citing financial strain and the emotional toll.
The Administrative board that was evaluating whether or not to retain Pearson for a 10-year stint and was expected to release a decision in early August. That never happened. Pearson is currently working as attorney advisor to the DC Office of Administrative Hearings.
Chief Administrative Law Judge Tyrone Butler (202.442.9091) -- why is this whackjob still on the City Payroll almost six months after his term expired?

I'm confused too, just wrote about this yesterday. It's not like he didn't get the pants back later. He makes a mockery of the judicial system.
i thought he did lose his job - that is what WTOP reported back in mid August as i recall.
According to WaPo columnist Marc Fisher as of yesterday he's still employed. I can find no article that reports to the contrary.
