"Pants judge" to get taken to cleaners?

I missed this. The ridiculously stupid judge who brought a "suit" (pun intended)against a mom-and-pop dry cleaners for $65M was dismissed outright (via WaPo):

The Pants Judge wants to keep the dry cleaners he sued out of his pockets.

In a filing yesterday in D.C. Superior Court, Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson said he should not be forced to pay legal fees to the dry cleaners he sued over a missing pair of pants.

A case that took nearly two weeks to decide could hardly be considered frivolous, Pearson said in a 65-page brief. The trial judge's written verdict did not take such a charitable view of Pearson's case, dismissing his allegations outright.

An order that Pearson pay attorney fees would be unusual, but the case against Custom Cleaners, a family-owned business on Bladensburg Road NE, was about as odd as they come.
