US trousers-claim judge loses job (BBC)
A US judge who lost a $54m (£26m) lawsuit against his dry-cleaners over a pair of missing trousers has not been reappointed, it has been confirmed.

Roy Pearson's term as an administrative law judge in Washington DC expired on 2 May and the selection commission voted not to reappoint him.

In 2005, Mr Pearson sued his cleaners after they refused to pay for a pair of lost trousers.

He said they had failed to honour a pledge of "satisfaction guaranteed".

'Mental anguish'

Local media, citing sources familiar with the case, reported the commission's decision last month.

2. He would've been better off sueing GWB for "mental anguish" instead of bankrupting a small business.
Would've been fun to see Quixote tilt at the broken windmill known at Bush.

3. He'll sue, settle, and win a lot from the taxpayers
where he failed in the 54 mil suit against the Korean immigrants.

4. He'll probably sue his former employers.
