When a pair of pants went missing from a dry cleaning customer's order, the customer was more than a little ticked off. He demanded $1,000, the price of the incomplete suit. When the pants were apparently found, Roy Pearson, Jr. declared they were not his pants and decided to sue the owners.

Pearson has pursued the case, refusing three increasingly extravagant offers to settle: $3,000, $4,600, and $12,000. Now, this steamed customer is demanding $65 million from the South Korean owners of his local dry cleaner. But Pearson is not just any guy: he's an administrative law judge in Washington.

His lawsuit has been termed frivolous and abusive, and Pearson's actions are prompting calls for his removal from office. Pearson has been pursuing his suit for two years now. The pants in question disappeared in May of 2005. Those who have a vested interest in protecting small businesses are requesting that he be denied a renewal of his ten-year appointment. And a fellow judge, Melvin Welles, has said that if he were to preside over the case, he would not only chuck it out, but make Pearson pay the owners for all the legal expenses and mental suffering he has caused them. He has also called for Pearson's dismissal and disbarment.

The case is set to go to trial on June 11.
