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.
