Swift Justice

It didn't take long. A request for reconsideration was filed in the "Case of the Purloined Pants" a mere few weeks ago, see A Swift Kick in the Pants, in which Roy Pearson requested that Judge Bartnoff reconsider the verdict against him in the dry cleaners case. Silly man.

Marc Fisher provides the latest news of the judicial victory in Pants Update: Cuffed Again!:

D.C. Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff is not wasting any time letting the pants man, Roy Pearson, know what she thinks of his persistent efforts to have his $54 million lawsuit against the neighborhood dry cleaners turned around in his favor.

Bartnoff decided in an order released late today that Pearson, the D.C. administrative law judge who sued Custom Cleaners because the cleaners allegedly lost a pair of his pants, "has not presented any new argument or authority that warrants reconsideration of the Court's prior rulings."

Enough already, her latest order seems to say.

Except that Pearson has no intention of halting here. He is expected to appeal Bartnoff's verdict in a couple of weeks and he will likely also appeal today's order--all of which only adds to the legal bills faced by the Chung family, the owner of Custom Cleaners.

Doesn't he understand that lawyers already have a bad name, so we don't him to do the honors?
