[bakerprune64]

Breaking News: The Judge has just been notified that he may lose his job--The city commission of Washington DC has notified Judge Pearson that he will not be reappointed and to show cause why he should not be fired--Commission cited his temperment as the reason for his being let go--lol

I am so glad!

Good, I hope he's FIRED! He is a prime example of frivilous lawsuits that wastes the courts time. And being a judge, he should be ashamed.

I found the article on Washingtonpost.com, but you have to subscribe to read the article, so I didn't bring it over here. They said that it was more than just this lawsuit... Here's a quick quote:
<snip>
"If Pearson appears before the commission, he probably will face questions about far more than his lawsuit, which generated jokes around the world and made him a target of the tort reform movement.

Concerns about Pearson's temperament as an administrative law judge preceded the publicity about the lawsuit this spring. The letter from the commission focuses on those concerns, addressing the lawsuit only briefly."

The system needs to make that idiot a** pay for all of this couple's expenses resulting from his abuse of the system by bringing a frivolous, nonsense lawsuit against them... and for thier pain and suffering. That idiot a** should not be allowed to do this to these poor people!

 

[bnhall]

Yay!!!! I was hoping they would get some kind of retribution!

A lawyer for the poor for much of his career, Pearson represented himself at trial and styled himself as a champion of the little guy, safeguarding the rights of ordinary citizens who lacked his legal acumen. The Chungs contended that they were small-business owners trying to make a living and set upon by a vengeful, litigious customer.

He thinks he's the "champion of the little guy?" More like their worst enemy :doh:

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.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The former judge who last year lost a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against a dry cleaners over a missing pair of pants wants his job back.

Roy Pearson sued the owners of this dry cleaning business for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.

Roy Pearson was not reappointed after his term expired as an administrative law judge in the District of Columbia.

He filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court accusing city government and others of an "unlawful demotion and subsequent termination."
.......
In court documents made available Friday at U.S. District Court in Washington, Pearson, again acting as his own attorney, relies on what he considers Washington's "Whistleblower Protection" law to try to establish illegal retaliation.

He can use all the big fancy legal terminology he wants, he'll still be a loser, and the courts saw that!
