The legal avenues are almost completely closed in the case of the $ 65 million pants:
The District’s Court of Appeals yesterday denied Roy L. Pearson Jr.’s request to have a second appeals hearing before the entire nine-judge panel.
In December, three judges on the court unanimously rejected Pearson’s initial appeal regarding his $54 million lawsuit against a neighborhood dry cleaner over a pair of pants he said the cleaners lost.
At the time, the judges said Pearson, a former administrative judge, failed to show that the store’s promise of “satisfaction guaranteed” amounted to fraud.
Yesterday, none of the remaining six judges objected to the previous ruling, in effect unanimously rejecting Pearson’s request.
The final option for Pearson is an appeal to the Supreme Court, but it’s patently obvious that they wouldn’t even take the case to begin with. So, shortly this whole insane story will be over.
It’s not the lawyers ruining this country, it’s the judges. How many millions of dollars did this nut cost the taxpayers? Is the term “frivolous lawsuit” a relic of the past?
