Tiger Woods Mistress Shut Down in Court

Devon James -- Tiger Woods mistress #428 -- was shown no mercy by a judge this morning, who threw out her paternity case against the golfer.

James claimed Tiger is the baby daddy of her 9-year-old son, and wanted the judge to force Tiger to submit to a DNA test. But the judge in Manatee County, Florida dismissed the case ... partly because Devon was a no-show.

Fact is ... Devon doesn't even have current custody of the boy -- her mom does.
