Yeah, I saw this on the news last week...this is so rediculous. $67 million civil lawsuit for "mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort." He says he was unable to wear that favorite suit on his first day of work. He's suing for 10 years of weekend car rentals so he can transport his dry cleaning to another store. He believes he is entitled to $1,500 for each violation (apparently they lost another pair three years earlier), each day during which the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign and another sign promising "Same Day Service" was up in the store -- more than 1,200 days!!

why wouldnt this be immediately considered "frivolous" and thrown out? completely ridiculous!

If you want to let him know what you think:
Pearson, Roy L Jr

Or leave a message on his answering machine ('cause he doesn't answer his phone directly anymore...wonder why???): (202) 269-1191

Or send him an email: roypearsonjr@verizon.net

Here is his Bio:

Judge Pearson earned his undergraduate degree from Lake Forest College. He earned his JD from Northwestern University School of Law.

Judge Pearson has been a member of the District of Columbia Bar since 1978, and of the US Supreme Court Bar since 1985

Interesting that someone felt the need to put his bio up there tho......to keep the peace I won't say where I'm going with that one, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

You know tees, I don't even know how to respond to your accusation. Beagle Buddy mentioned that he would be interested in knowing more about this guy and outside of pages and pages of articles on the current lawsuit this is all I have seen about him. This is his official bio and I can swear on my mothers life that I had no alterior motives for adding it. I am too angry right now to say anything more about your insinuations.

Sam, I humbly and genuinely apologize- and NOT because you're angry but because I apparently was wrong. There ARE some ppl who would have posted that for no other reason.... the problem is knowing someone's motive, especially someone you don't know. Sort of like when someone is accused of 'race-baiting' on a blog when they're not.
You see, this is something that some don't understand, respectfully, I'll try to explain: because racism/prejudice/etc is so rampant both obviously and disguised, and if one is someone that has been negatively impacted by racism and experienced it first-hand not a few times, it is very very hard to tell when it is and when it isn't. I will be the first one to say 'NO it's not always race sometimes color of skin of the parties involved is just incidental' but unfortunately history thru the present shows that usually isn't the case.

Get real, as there are not any pants in the world worth this much even if they were made with the most expensive of diamonds! How can any court in the world allow this type of case to go forward, we as people really need to get a grip and try to convict real criminals.

Send this fool judge down to the men's Warehouse and buy him two pairs of pants. The news said that the cleaners already offered the judge 18,000 dollars to settle this, and the butt-plug judge refused..

Tees, why do you get testy when someone mentions AAs? It seems everytime someone, anyone, writes something remotely attached to an AAs, it always gets on the race track ... just curious ...

I wasnt even aware of this man's race and it shouldnt matter ... he's a jackas+ I can almost see him drooling at a potential payday while he ruins everything those people have worked hard for. They should throw it out of court! The buy him a pair of pants from walmart for his fat, dumb as+!

Thank you Sam for posting his bio. I'm going to let him know what I think of his stupid lawsuit!

I hear after Judge Pearson resigns over this he will be taking a job as a special advisor to Attorney General Gonzales on Judicial ethics and Tort reform.
