Can anyone explain to me why it’s taking so long to fire a guy who filed a patently frivolous lawsuit from his position as a judge ?
If he hasn’t already started, the D.C. judge who sued his dry cleaners for $54 million — and lost — may want to begin looking for a new job.
The city commission that has been weighing the professional fate of Administrative Law Judge Roy L. Pearson Jr. has voted to formally notify Pearson that he may not be reappointed to the bench, according to a government source.
In a letter sent to Pearson today — the first step in a multi-step process — the Commission on Selection and Tenure of Administrative Law Judges cites not only Pearson’s highly publicized lawsuit but also his record as an administrative law judge.
The next step in the process will be for the commission to consider Pearson’s response. He will have 15 days to file a rebuttal to the letter and then may elect to appear before the commission at its next meeting in September. The commission will make no official decision on Pearson’s fate until after that meeting.
Multi-step process ? It would seem to me this is, at most a two-step process.
Step one: File a frivolous lawsuit over a pair of lost pants.
Step two: Lose your job as an administrative law judge.
Any questions ?
