that case wouldn't last 30 days. it would be poured out immediately. judges main worry in making a ruling is being overturned on appeal. they hate that. to the point that they won't make rulings at all in cases where they really need to. that's my number one frustration with our system.
i think the judge shoudl rule for this idiot and give him one of those rulings for a dollar. this guy is going to ruin any chance of him ever being a judge again. No one will ever vote for him.
I think there are really only two possibilities here: 1. The man is suffering from some legitimate mental problems. 2. Someone, maybe not someone readily apparent, is trying to make a point, and this is all theater in service to making that point.
http://www.examiner.com/a-782166~Pants_lawsuit_could_cost_D_C__judge_his__100_000_job.html Washington Examiner: Pants lawsuit could cost D.C. judge his $100,000 job WASHINGTON (Map, News) - The boss of Roy L. Pearson Jr., the administrative law judge whose $54 million pants lawsuit has turned the D.C. legal system into a punch line on late-night talk shows, has recommended that the city deny Pearson another term on the bench, D.C. government sources said Thursday. In a letter to the three-person commission that will decide whether Pearson gets reappointed, District of Columbia Chief Administrative Judge Tyrone T. Butler said Pearson does not deserve a 10-year term to the post, which pays more than $100,000 a year. “My sense is that the commission will not reappoint him,” a D.C. government source said. Butler’s letter reverses his previous recommendation in support of Pearson that he sent to the commission before the pants suit case gained worldwide notoriety. Butler would not comment on his recommendation, according to his office. Administrative judges preside over disputes between a government agency and people bringing complaints against the agency. Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff said she would rule on Pearson’s lawsuit by next week. Pearson broke down on the stand twice trying to describe the day he learned that he would never see his pants again. He has requested $500,000 in legal fees for the 1,400 hours he says he put into the case. A friend testified that Pearson had no life outside the office because he was consumed with the case, working nights and weekends. Pearson has had a history of doggedly pursuing legal matters. Before he became a D.C. judge two years ago, Pearson was unemployed after working as legal aid attorney for 24 years. He worked on one tenant lawsuit for 18 years, appealing the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. His former boss once called him the best attorney he ever hired, but their relationship soured and Pearson quit in 2002. In 2005, in his divorce suit, Virginia courts ordered him to pay his ex-wife, also a lawyer, $12,000 for “creating unnecessary litigation” and threatening her and her attorney with disbarment. At the time of the ruling, he had no steady job, no bank account and less than $2,000 in cash. smccabe@dcexaminer.com, dgenz@dcexaminer.com
Nothing yet. The judge said the end of this week. I doubt she meant weekend so hopefully that means we'll get some kind of resolution tomorrow.
in yo face! and pay the folks for their legal bills (which is in the hundreds of thousands by now) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286575,00.html
I'm glad this loser didn't win a dime. I'm even more glad he'll have to fork up the court costs. I hope this guy loses his job and gets disbarred. Hopefully he'll realize what a DUMB career move that was.. HA!
