A family court judge in Michigan denied a request for a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to give his son peyote as part of Native American Church ceremonies.

Judge Graydon W. Dimkoff, of a county probate court, said the boy, 4, can ingest peyote when he gets older. The mother opposed the father's request.
