Should GATA carry forward appeal of this guys suit? 'Messiah-God' Less Than Omnipotent In Court Associated Press Thursday, May 3, 2001 Breaking News Sections -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) -- An inmate who sued the prison system because he wasn't being treated like God has lost his court claim. Chad Gabriel DeKoven, a convicted armed robber who calls himself "Messiah-God," filed a lawsuit seeking full-time personal attendants, thousands of trees and animals and tons of precious metals. He also demanded a full pardon, public acknowledgment that he is the king of the Jews, peace in the Middle East, and return of all U.S. military personnel to the United States within 90 days. But Judge David M. Lawson dismissed the lawsuit, calling it "delusional," "frivolous" and "devoid of merit." "The Court may not treat lightly the claims of any litigant, even those whose contentions appear fantastic and baseless on their face," Lawson wrote in his decision. However, DeKoven has no Constitutional right to be treated as the "Messiah-God or any other holy, extra-worldly or supernatural being of power," he ruled. sfgate.com
