CAAF Not Spared From Frivolous Prisoner Filing

Those who saw this may have wondered what it was about: "No. 20-0352/AF. John R. Demos, Appellant v. United States, Appellee. CCA 2020-03. On consideration of the writ-appeal petition it is ordered that the writ-appeal petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and that further filings submitted to this Court will be returned without any action by this Court."

Our reliable research staff has tracked down Mr. Demos's internet trail of frivolous filings in courts across the country. Here is just one, from the District of the Virgin Islands, which gives us a sense of the type of claim CAAF may have had to deal with. Demos is a state prisoner in Washington, and claims that his incarceration violates the Geneva Convention due to his allegiance to "the Vatican, and the Rothschild family of France."
