Nathaniel Duane Caetano filed an unusual complaint, even for a sovereign citizen. Nathaniel is a state prisoner in California. He was arrested in November 2009 for cultivating marijuana, arson and first-degree murder.
He as a “Private Man, Private Citizen, Sovereign… Secured Party Creditor…” has made “nearly incomprehensible allegations concerning penal bid bonds, performance bonds and payment bonds” stemming from his 2009 arrest. The court is piecing together his argument because it is difficult to know what he’s saying.
He claims that a penal bid bond was generated at the time of his arrest. Since the county court did not disclose the penal bid bond which created a judgment, and then because they sold the bond and judgment to the US District Court, and then the District Court sold the bonds/judgment to one of its contractors, who in turn resold it to the highest bidder, a bond investor, it generated a performance bond and a payment bond. Nathaniel is suing for unpaid wages, labor, material and pilotage asserting that they owe him $4.5 million as a “pilot, Seaman, materialman and laborer as and for [his] vessel.” All told, because he used his body to work many days and many hours, he calculated that through February 20, 2022, he is owed a total of $19,998,000.
The judge noted that his allegation of being a “transportation watercraft is fanciful and delusional.”
He similarly noted “that allegations concerning the generation and sale of a penal bid bond/judgment and creation of performance and payment bonds rise to the level of irrational or wholly incredible.”
This complaint was dismissed.
Here is a link to the murder he was convicted of. He killed his father and burned his remains in his marijuana garden.
