In case you missed yesterday's late-breaking news, the D.C. Court of Appeals unanimously denied Roy Pearson's petition hear his appeal for a second time.

     

Last year's No Pants Metro Ride, the first time the long-running New York City event had been held in D.C., resulted in no arrests and several funny photos. From the looks of the DCist Flickr pool this morning, Saturday's repeat event went much the same way. Considering how cold and rainy the day ended up being, all we can think while looking at these images is, "Brrrrrr!"

You have just got to be friggin' kidding me. The Associated Press is reporting that former administrative law judge Roy Pearson has filed a petition with the D.C. Court of Appeals requesting that his $54 million pants lawsuit case be reheard again, this time by a nine-judge panel. Three appellate judges ruled last month that Pearson's lawsuit had no merit. Pearson is now arguing that those judges failed to address all the issues in his appeal, and so is asking the full court to rehear the case. We just don't know if we can take another round of Pearson-related court proceedings. Surely the court can just reject his request at this point and refuse to rehear the case again, right? Pretty please?

Say farewell to former administrative law judge Roy Pearson. Again.

Marc Fisher has the best summary of today's arguments at the D.C. Court of Appeals. The good news for former administrative law judge Roy Pearson's epic, seemingly unending $54 million pants lawsuit, writes Fisher, is that the three judges hearing the appeal were "not buying Pearson's notion that a shop sign that promises 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' means that a merchant must honor any cockamamie demand that an unhappy customer might make." We probably won't have a ruling from the appeals court for at least a month, but it sounds like Pearson doesn't have a chance in hell.

Remember when we told you that Roy Pearson, he of the $54 million missing pants lawsuit, was refusing to fade away quietly and heading back to court to press his appeal? Well today's the big day! Looks like the AP has a reporter at the D.C. Court of Appeals, so we'll be waiting patiently to find out whether the three-judge appellate court panel could possibly agree to overturn the lower court ruling and order a new trial for Pearson.

That's right, kiddos. International superstar and former administrative law judge Roy Pearson is back! Last night WJLA reported that the infamous $54 million missing pants lawsuit has actually been granted an appeals hearing by a three-judge appellate court panel. Faithful readers must realize what a thrill it was for DCist to once again set our Google image search function to "pants" upon hearing the news.

Does Roy Pearson not have anyone in his life, say a family member or a friend, to smack him upside the head and tell him to stop being so crazy? The Examiner and the Associated Press are both reporting this morning that Pearson, the man who sued the owners of Custom Cleaners for $54 million over a misplaced pair of pants and then subsequently lost his job as an administrative law judge, has filed suit to get his job back and for $1 million in damages.
