Nationwide Layoff Watch: Roy Pearson
Okay, it’s not a “layoff,” since it’s not due to economic pressures. Rather, it’s due to his being a total asshat judicial record and temperament — and maybe a certain infamous lawsuit he filed.
From the Washington Post:
Roy L. Pearson Jr., whose $54 million lawsuit against a Northeast Washington dry-cleaning shop was rejected in court, is about to lose his job as an administrative law judge, sources said last night.A city commission voted yesterday against reappointing Pearson to the bench of the Office of Administrative Hearings, which hears cases involving various D.C. boards and agencies. Pearson, who was up for a 10-year term, had tried to hold on to the job.
Expect the litigious Pearson to fight any refusal to reappoint him:
If the panel carries out its decision against reappointing him, Pearson, 57, could take the case to the D.C. Court of Appeals. In a separate filing, he is asking the appellate court to overturn the decision in the dry-cleaning case.The sources said that had Pearson’s term not ended this May, at the height of his battle with the dry cleaners, he might have kept the job. His term has expired, but Pearson has remained on the payroll, making $100,000 a year as an attorney adviser for the Office of Administrative Hearings.

Yawn. Lat, give us something interesting.
WGWAG
NY to $190K!
AA only harms minorities.
dbags to 100k!!
Pearson finally got what he deserved for selling rusty hydageneas to that poor Anthony Keidis person.
Lossing a job is not enough for this jerkoff- He should be violently assaulted as well.
Yeah, 2:31, and for wrecking that summer's dress at that bar (before she clocked him).
What a git. I'm glad the city commission is getting rid of him. People like Pearson give the legal profession a bad name.
Sweet headline, Lat. High style.
I wonder if he actaully does anything, or if he's just "on the payroll"...
Alcoholics Anonymous harms minorities? I never knew.
He gets six figures a year; L2L makes half that; the Chungs lost their drycleaning business; and the Chungs' lawyer made out like a bandit (judging from the reported proceeds from the benefit events they held to pay their legal bills). Sometimes life really ain't fair.
What a clowndick.
He's been "about to lose his job" for like three months now...can't the panel just hurry it up and can him? He wasted taxpayers money with his stupid trial and continues to waste money being on the city's payroll doing nothing.
Yet another shining endorsement for affirmative action.
Appealing? Not to me! First he lost his pants, then his suit, but he still has his briefs.
He's appealing?!!?! First he lost his pants, then his suit, but he still has his briefs.
