First he lost his pants, then his lawsuit, now his job.....

Kinda give a whole new meaning to the old expression; "He lost his pants!" , don't it !

Roy L. Pearson Jr., the administrative law judge who lost his $54 million lawsuit against a Northeast Washington dry cleaner, lost his job yesterday and was ordered to vacate his office, sources said.
Pearson, 57, who had served as a judge for two years, was up for a 10-year term at the Office of Administrative Hearings, but a judicial committee last week voted against reappointing him.

The panel had a seven-page letter hand-delivered to Pearson about 3:30 p.m., directing him to leave his office by 5 p.m. Pearson's term ended in May, at the height of his battle with the dry cleaners. Since then, he has remained on the payroll, making $100,000 a year as an attorney adviser.


The panel went on to say that it had nothin' to do with his law suit... it was a lack of judicial propriety and an inability to get along with folks in the hearings he held.... Well, as my grandaughter would say."DUH!". Would one expect that a lawyer that would sue for $54 million over a pair of pants had all the eggs in his basket lined up?
