Roy Pearson: You're Fired!

The DC Admin Judge who sued his dry cleaners for $54 million for allegedly losing his pants is losing his job.

Sweet justice.

A Suggestion for Larry Craig

Hire Roy Pearson, the DC Pants Suit lawyer.

He may not be able to help you prove your case, but it would prove you could get more ridiculous than you already are.

Why is the Pants Suit Judge Still on the DC Payroll?

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?

Sadistic DC Judge Roy Pearson Still Pursuing Pants Suit

Despite losing his case to get $54 million from family owned dry cleaners for allegedly losing his pair of pants, Roy Pearson plans to press on and is asking the judge in the case to reverse his decision. He's made it clear to the dry cleaner's lawyer that he does not plan to back down. According to Marc Fisher:

Pearson apparently continues to believe that his crusade to get rich off an immigrant family's small business would somehow better the lives of all D.C. residents.

The family that owns the dry cleaners -- the Chungs (pictured) -- have been wiped out by the more than $100,000 in attorney's fees needed to defend themselves from this sadistic lunatic. If you want to help, you can contribute, or attend a fundraiser on July 24.

And, if I can find the name and email address of the DC government official who is responsible for possibly appointing Pearson to a 10 appointment as a DC admin law judge, I'll share that too.

Judge Rejects Pants Suit

DC Admin Judge Roy "Satisfaction Guaranteed Whacko" Pearson lost his suit for $54 million against a local dry cleaners for losing his pants (apparently he couldn't find any one to sue for losing his mind). Here's hoping the judge also awards the dry cleaners a judgement for attorney fees.

And here's hoping Judge Pearson won't press his pants suit on appeal.

Keeping Judge Roy Pearson

The DC government is deciding whether or not to reappoint Roy Pearson as an administrative judge in the DC government. Judge Roy, as you may recall, is the guy who is suing a family owned dry cleaners for $54 million for losing a pair of pants.

Some say Pearson's constitutional right to sue is none of the DC government's business. Others point to the requirements for DC admin judges to posses judicial temperament.

As a DC taxpayer (and dry cleaner user) I say: give Pearson a friggin' kick in the seat of his pants suit. "Judicial temperament?" Not. We could use one less nut job down at city hall.

The $54 Million Britches -- Where's the Golden Stitches?

Via DCist, Judge Roy Pearson's alleged pants (which happen to be a pair of suit pants and happen to have a laundry number attached that matches his ticket).

It would appear, judging from the apparent waist size, that harassing family-owned dry cleaners with outrageous law suits doesn't burn many calories.

Better hit the gym, Roy. At your age, the extra girth and anger issues aren't good for your health.

Are Your Pants Worth $65 million?

DC Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson's are. At least that's what he thinks: He's suing a family-owned dry cleaners that amount for losing a pair of his pants back in 2005. And he wants $65 million. Marc Fisher has the deets.

A bio of the Judge -- who is serving as his own lawyer in the case can be found here.

My question is this: He's on the city payroll. How do we fire him?
