A court Thursday rejected an appeal filed by a former administrative law judge who sued a dry cleaners for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.

An unidentified man talks on a cell phone in front of the Chung family’s shop, Custom Cleaners.

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals “ruled resoundingly in favor of the Chung family and denied Mr. Roy Pearson’s appeal of the case completely,” said Christopher Manning, an attorney for the Chung family, who own Custom Cleaners.

“The D.C. Court of Appeals held that the trial court correctly ruled that Mr. Pearson’s claims had no merit whatsoever,” he added.

The Chungs have “some level of relief,” Manning told CNN, “but they won’t count Mr. Pearson out for at least trying to torment them further” with future appeals.

“We are very happy with the result and thank everyone for supporting us,” Jin Chung said in a statement issued by Manning. “The past three years have been very difficult, but we hope this nightmare is finally over.”
