A court ruled Monday against a judge who was seeking 54 million dollars from the Korean immigrant owners of a dry cleaners which he said lost his favorite trousers, while promising "satisfaction guaranteed."

The court ruled against Roy Pearson on all three counts of his complaint. He alleged that Custom Cleaners, run by Korean immigrants Jin and Soo Chung and their son, lost his blue and red-striped grey trousers and misled him with a sign promising satisfaction.

He calculated the 54 million dollar penalty under Washington consumer protection laws, at 1,500 dollars for every day the cleaners left the sign up in their shop, ABC news said. The case has dragged on for two years.

Pearson, an administrative judge in Washington, sued the Chungs and their son separately. He also sought emotional damages and legal fees, though he was representing himself.
