WASHINGTON — An appeals court on Thursday turned down a request for a new trial from a former District of Columbia judge who sued his dry cleaners for $54 million over a lost pair of pants.
The D.C. Court of Appeals rejected the request from Roy Pearson to overturn a 2007 ruling that denied him damages. Pearson had argued that Custom Cleaners failed to live up to its promise of “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” Three appellate judges agreed Pearson failed to show the store’s advertising amounted to fraud and said his argument defied logic.
