In this matter the applicant had brought a case against God in a court in Nebraska, USA (where else?) where the plaintiff sought an injunction against God to stop all the death and destruction etc that God causes.
The Court threw out the application on the grounds that God had no known address where the Court papers could be duly served.
The applicant had argued that as God is omniscient, omnipresent, all knowing etc. God would have known of the Court summons so the Court had no need of a postal address to serve its papers.
Regretfully the Court decided that God needed to have an earthly address for proper service of the papers and threw the matter out.
Kind of reminds me of the Land Scam situation in Tnucland

Legal case against God dismissed
The plaintiff argued an omniscient God would know of the lawsuit
A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.
The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling.
He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorisation" caused by God.
Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed.
"Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice," Judge Polk wrote in his ruling.
Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal.
'God knows everything'
Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants".
He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk's ruling before deciding whether to appeal.
The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and "a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God's omniscience".
"Since God knows everything," he reasoned, "God has notice of this lawsuit."
Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that "anyone can sue anyone else, even God".
