A federal judge in the District of Columbia has swiftly dismissed a $7 billion lawsuit filed against Satan, President Donald Trump, and various court officials, labeling the case “patently insubstantial.”
In a ruling issued January 9, U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan tossed out the complaint filed by pro se plaintiff Adrian Damico Moon, who alleged a vast supernatural conspiracy involving high-ranking officials and spiritual entities.
According to court documents, Moon filed the suit against Satan—whom he identified in the complaint as a “spiritual being” also known as “Lucifer da fallen Loser”—along with President Donald Trump, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, and several court clerks.

The filing sought $7 billion in damages and demanded a pardon for both the plaintiff and music mogul Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs.
In the complaint, Moon alleged that the defendants “conspired to steal” $1 billion in real estate and personal property and had targeted him with “evil, vicious, heinous Hamas Domestic Terrorism.” He further claimed the group attempted to murder him through various “underlings.”
Judge Chutkan dismissed the case sua sponte—meaning on the court’s own initiative without waiting for a defense motion—citing a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
“Federal courts lack subject-matter jurisdiction over any complaint that is ‘patently insubstantial,'” Chutkan wrote in the opinion. She noted that legal precedent prevents federal courts from entertaining claims that rely on “bizarre conspiracy theories” or “any sort of supernatural intervention.”

The dismissal order also addressed a motion filed by Moon to recuse every judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In that motion, Moon argued that the judges should be removed because “it has become apparent that they are all idiots and worshippers of Satan.”
Moon had requested that former President Barack Obama or former First Lady Michelle Obama be appointed as a “Pro Tem Judge” to hear his case.
Judge Chutkan denied the recusal motion, noting with judicial restraint that a “reasonable and informed observer” would not question the court’s impartiality based on the filing.
“Plaintiff cites no evidence for his conclusory assertion,” Chutkan wrote regarding the claim that the court was comprised of Satan worshippers, “and the court is aware of none.”
The case, Moon v. Satan, et al., is now closed.
