Judge won’t reconsider $54 million pants suit

But man who sued D.C. dry cleaner for lost garment is expected to press on

WASHINGTON - A customer who sued his dry cleaner for $54 million over a missing pair of pants has been denied in his efforts to get the judge in the widely mocked case to reconsider her decision.

/snip

The attorneys for the dry cleaners told NBC they fully expect Pearson to continue his crusade and file an appeal of the original decision within the next few weeks.

Pearson's suit, which originally sought $67 million, was based on a strict interpretation of the city's consumer protection law. It also included damages for inconvenience, mental anguish and attorney's fees for representing himself.
Mental anguish over a pair of missing pants is clearly bogus.

Meanwhile, he caused real mental anguish to the owners of the dry cleaners.

He really, really, really should have every item of his taken, sold, and every penny of it given to those poor people he’s terrorized over all this time.

At a minimum, this completely worthless POS should be fired. Clearly totally lacking the judicial temperament to be an “administrative law judge.”

If there was justice left in this country, he’d also be disbarred, bankrupt, and living on the street...

If I recall, the pants had cuffs. Cuffs, man!

Seems to me it would be great to file a class action lawsuit against this jacka$$ to try and recoup tax money and the productivity time wasted having to constantly read about his antics day in and day out. The poor people he has terrorized could probably use the support. They are actually working Americans being taken apart by this POS. The money from the class action lawsuit could go back to them.

That jerk ought to be wearing cuffs, alright. When self-importance rises to such an aggressive level as this, mass derision may not be enough.

As a young child, the plaintiff was traumatized by the loss of a sock in the dryer. The event scarred him for life causing an inordinate fear of laundromats, dry cleaners, and fabric softeners.

Sometimes money is like alchohol; it reveals your true nature. If you are a complete moron to begin with, an abundance of either will only make it more apparent to those around you.

With a name like that you’d think he would wear a better quality suit.

This is an example of a "vexatious litigant" but we have no national laws on the books (as of yet) to deal with abuse of law/power cases like this.

Of course, Congress is filled with lawyers. They're not about to write a law that would put their attorney buddies out of a job.
