WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Former Judge Roy Pearson has renewed his $54 million lawsuit against a Washington dry cleaners over a pair of lost pants.

Pearson told a three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals that the cleaners had a sign promising "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and he wasn't satisfied, accusing Custom Cleaners of fraud, The Washington Post reported.

An attorney for Soo and Jin Chung, the owners of Custom Cleaners, argued that Pearson was "entitled to nothing," that his trousers weren't lost and had been offered to him several times. Pearson said the pair he was offered weren't his pants.
