WTOP Report Provokes Anger Among Area Cyclists
Goodbye Fixie, Hello Tweed!

Committee Approves Same-Sex Marriage Bill
Say farewell to former administrative law judge Roy Pearson. Again.
The D.C. Court of Appeals has rejected Pearson's appeal of the $54 million lawsuit he filed over a misplaced pair of pants, WTOP is reporting. From the ruling:
Appellant failed to establish either that the Chungs’ “Satisfaction Guaranteed” and “Same Day Service” signs constituted false or misleading statements, or that they lost his pants. Thus, the judgment for the Chungs on the fraud and CPPA claims was proper. Further, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant’s motions for a jury trial.Pearson, as you'll recall, accused the Chung family, former owners of Custom Cleaners, of losing a pair of his pants, and filed suit against them for $67 million (he later reduced the amount $54 million). He lost the case, and later also lost his judgeship. With this ruling, Pearson has nowhere else to go on his pants-related crusade. But is this the last we'll ever hear about Pearson? Sadly, probably not: his $1 million wrongful termination suit against the city is still pending.

At least the pants trial part is definitely over.
Right? RIGHT????
Please tell me this asshole is done with this case.
Glad to see that his pants were 67x's more important than his job.
He still has other avenues if he wishes to pursue further - he can ask the full 9 judge Court of Appeals panel to review the case, or he can even go to the Supreme Court
He should sue his parents for bringing a dumbass like him into the world.
If the pants fit. You must aquit.
my pants appeal is still going strong, thank you very much.
It's asshats like this that give attorneys a bad name. He should be disbarred for bringing a frivolous claim before the court.
Lost his pants? That's nothing. I saw a reporter lose his shoes in Iraq.
ok, we can file this along with the dead children story under the column "things i don't want to hear anything more about if i can help it"
For anyone who wants to read the Court's opinion:
