Try And Try Again

This dipstick will not let this go.

The D.C. Court of Appeals yesterday rejected Roy L. Pearson Jr.‘s request for a new trial regarding his highly publicized $54 million lawsuit against a neighborhood dry cleaners over a pair of lost pants.

The three judges who heard his case unanimously agreed that Pearson failed to show that the store’s advertised promises amounted to fraud. The judges said Pearson’s argument that Custom Cleaners and its owners, Soo and Jin Chung, intentionally committed fraud with their signs “defies logic.”

Pearson appealed to the court in October to overturn a 2007 ruling that he was not entitled to damages from the cleaner. Pearson argued he had not received the promised “Satisfaction Guaranteed” or “Same Day Service.”

Pearson, a former District administrative law judge, also argued that he was denied access to a jury trial. The appeals court rejected that argument as well.

The Chungs’ attorney, Christopher Manning, said his clients were pleased with the decision and now want to focus on their one remaining store at Seventh and M streets NW. Since the lawsuits, the Chungs were forced to close their two other stores because of financial problems.

Will someone please have a talk with sue crazed moron?
