The DC Traveler

I’ve written about this story four times before on The DC Traveler… about the former DC Administrative judge who has been repeatedly pressing a lawsuit during the past three years by suing a Washington, DC dry cleaners for between $76 and $54 million dollars for allegedly losing a pair of his pants.

Former judge Roy “frivolous lawsuit” Pearson took his case to the Washington Court of Appeals, after it was initially thrown out of DC court, then again by a DC Superior Court. If he wins his appeal, his case will be heard again. A decision is expected in the next few months.

His claim was that the store’s sign stating “satisfaction guaranteed” was misleading and that the Pearson was a victim of fraud. The dry cleaners has made several attempts to settle the case, but Pearson seems insistent on being compensated with millions of dollars for a lost pair of pants. The dry cleaner has offer $12,000 to the lawsuit go away and also claims to still have the pants, ready to be picked up.

The dry cleaners, Custom Cleaners located in NW DC , has reportedly been forced to close two of its three locations, due to the huge legal bills the owners have generated defending themselves.

I suspect when this case it tossed out, he will file an appeal with the US Supreme Court.
