Washington, D.C. - The pants judge has lost his job.

After months of speculation, D.C. Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson was notified Tuesday afternoon that he would not be reappointed to a second term on the bench of the D.C. Office of Administrative Hearings, a position he held for two years before his failed $54 million lawsuit over a lost pair of pants thrust him into the white-hot spotlight.

Around the same time, Pearson was gearing up for trial against the Korean-owned dry cleaners, turning down the Chung family’s offer of $12,000 for the pants.

Calls poured in from all over world from people who wondered how a judge could bring such an outlandish lawsuit. Under pressure, Pearson dropped his demands from $68 million to $54 million.

Earlier this month, Pearson made a passionate plea for his job, arguing that he had a constitutional right to sue the dry cleaners. He also argued that he was protected as a whistle-blower because he sought to expose corruption inside the Office of Administrative Hearings.

On Monday, after considering Pearson’s actions in and out of the courtroom, the judicial commission voted against reappointing Pearson to the $100,000 a year job.
