A District of Columbia judge will not get a new trial in his attempt to sue his dry cleaners for $54 million over a lost pair of pants.An appeals court has rejected the request of Judge Roy L. Pearson to overturn a 2007 ruling that prohibited him damages.
According to Pearson, Custom Cleaners did not live up to its promise of "Satisfaction Guaranteed."
Three appellate judges all came to the conclusion that Pearson failed to show the store's advertising amounted to fraud and said his claim defied logic.
Pearson can still request the entire nine-judge appellate court review the case or appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I followed this case through the newspapers as well. It was highly publicized. This judge was trying to throw his weight around - an incredible abuse of power. Why he still is a judge is a mystery. No politician who abuses power like this should be allowed to keep it.
