The Little Douchebag That Could

Just like the little engine from the children’s book that recited the mantra “I think I can… I think I can…” Douchebag judge Roy L. Pearson pursues his multi-million dollar lawsuit against a Washington, DC area dry cleaner — over a missing pair of paints. 

According to this Washington Post article:

He’s baaaa-ack: Roy Pearson, the D.C. administrative law judge who filed, fought and lost a $54 million lawsuit against the Korean immigrants who own his neighborhood dry cleaners, chose the Fourth of July holiday to make it clear that he will not be going away.

Despite a clear finding by D.C. Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff that Pearson’s case against Custom Cleaners had no merit and that the cleaners’ possible misplacing of a pair of Pearson’s pants was not worth a penny to the plaintiff, Pearson is back. He wrote to defense lawyer Christopher Manning this week to let the Chung family know that Pearson plans to file today a motion arguing that Bartnoff failed to address Pearson’s legal claims and asking the judge to reverse her verdict in the case.

Manning, who has said that the Chungs have already been wiped out financially by the need to defend themselves against Pearson’s two-year legal jihad, responded to Pearson by asking that he end the misery for the Chungs, who face legal bills of more than $100,000. Manning asked Pearson to consider moving on, for the Chungs’ sake and for his own.

The Douchebag Report has followed Pearson since day one, and has predicted his return following the previous judgment. Now it’s time for a reader call to arms — support the dry cleaners:

www.chungfundraiser.com - There is a fundraising event held on Tuesday, July 24th, which is co-hosted by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform and the American Tort Reform Association. The event will be held in the Washington DC area. If you are unable to attend, you can still support the Chungs.
