Judge Roy Pearson needs to get real life!! This is absolutely embarrassing as a judge and a man who took an oath in law to pursue an idiotic and meaningless lawsuit against the Chungs. He has put that couple through too much. He should be barred from working as a judge or any career capacity in the court of law. And I am glad the D.C. city commission is voting him to the unemployment line because Pearson is not fit to mow my lawn.
From BLT:
D.C. administrative law judge Roy Pearson Jr. won't give up after losing his $54 million lawsuit against a local dry cleaner over a missing pair of pants. He filed an appeal today to the D.C. Court of Appeals, even though the Chung family yesterday withdrew its motion seeking to compel Pearson to pay more than $82,000 in attorney fees. The Chungs have raised close to $100,000 through fundraisers and donations to help cover their legal fees and business losses after international media attention of the case.
Pearson is soldiering on after losing a two-day bench trial in June where he wept over his missing pants, which he'd had altered because he gained weight while he was unemployed before becoming an administrative law judge in 2005. Maybe he was chowing down too many Twinkies in front of the TV set.
Chris Manning, the Chungs' attorney, released a statement today: "The Chungs have done everything possible to put this nightmare behind them and return to their normal lives. They have won resoundingly at trial, raised donations from gracious private donors to pay for their litigation costs, let Mr. Pearson off the hook for personally paying their expenses and extended an olive branch to Mr. Pearson in hopes that he would end this matter and not appeal." Manning added that Pearson has chosen "desperate irrationality over common sense and decided to appeal, unnecessarily costing the parties more wasted time and the D.C. taxpayers more wasted money."
The D.C. Court of Appeals isn't known for issuing timely decisions, so the wait for the Chungs to put this case behind them may stretch even longer. The average overall time for appeals increased from 562 days in 2005 to 575 days last year. So even if they hit the average, the Chungs will be waiting more than 18 months for a decision. Even then, Pearson could appeal to the Supreme Court if he loses again in the District
On a side note: A Washington, D.C. city commission has voted to notify Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson Jr. that he may not be reappointed to the bench, according to an unnamed government source cited by The Washington Post.
In a letter sent to Pearson Tuesday -- the first step in a multi-step process -- the five-member 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 newspaper reported.
