WASHINGTON, D.C. — Roy Pearson, the District of Columbia judge who lost his $54 million lawsuit against the operators of Custom Cleaners last month, filed a motion last week seeking to reverse D.C. Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff’s verdict in the case.
Bartnoff ruled last month that Pearson’s case had no merit, awarding him none of the $54 million in compensation he sought for an allegedly missing pair of pants. She also charged the defendants’ court costs to the plaintiff.
