On July 10, 2026, Jose DeCastro filed yet another lawsuit against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and others. This time his complaint is based on alleged Civil Rights violations that occurred while incarcerated following his conviction in State of Nevada (LVMPD) v. Jose DeCastro(Case 23-CR-013015)that was later reversed on appeal(Case C-24-381730-a).

There is speculation that many of the incidents listed in his complaint occurred outside Nevada's 2-year statute of limitations. Nevada appears to start the clock based on the date an incident occurred while in jail and not on a person's release date. The date of this filing, being 1-day before the 2-year anniversary of his release from the Clark County Detention Center, could make any incident that occurred prior to his last day in jail time barred.

On March 17, 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit opened a case based on Jose DeCastro's Notice of appeal filed in case 2:23-cv-00580 DeCastro v. LVMPD et el, the civil rights lawsuit he lost to LVMPD earlier in 2026.

On February 13, 2026, the same day he lost his previous 2023 case against LVMPD (Case 2:23-cv-00580), Mr. DeCastro filed yet another Federal lawsuit. This one was also filed against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department but includes a different set of officers. It appears that this case is in retaliation for his 2024 arrest in the City of Las Vegas v. DeCastro case. The charges on that case were later dropped.

On December 18, 2025, Jose DeCastro filed a Federal lawsuit in California, this time against the City of Duncan, Oklahoma, and various public officials. It appears that Mr. DeCastro filed this Federal civil rights lawsuit in an attempt to halt a lower court's criminal case against him by including an Emergency Motion asking the Federal court to "quash" a warrant for his arrest issued in theState of Oklahoma v. DeCastrocase, but his Motion was DENIED.

On June 3, 2025, Jose DeCastro filed another Federal lawsuit, this time returning to Massachusetts District Court. In this case he filed defamation claims against Dale Hiller, who runs the YouTube channel 'LackLuster' that tends to focus on videos made by people who are commonly referred to as 'First Amendment Auditors.' The coverage on LackLuster's channel, while similar to that covered on Jose DeCastro's DeleteLawz YouTube channel, has a subscriber base that was somewhere around 3 times the size of DeCastro's at the time of the incidents that DeCastro is suing over.

On September 25, Judge Burroughs dismissed DeCastro's Complaint for lack of jurisdiction. Being Pro Se, in docket # [35], DeCastro was given 21 days to file a 2nd Amended Complaint.

On September 28, 2026, the case against Clark County and Deputy DA Agnes Botelho were dismissed. Case against the others is still pending.

On May 21, 2025, Jose DeCastro filed another civil suit in Nevada in retaliation for his arrest and conviction in State of Nevada v. Jose DeCastro, which was later overturned on appeal. This time attempting to use a Monell claim to pierce judicial and qualified immunity of the Judge who sentenced him, the Judge who refused to release him on bail pending his appeal (even though she eventually reverse his conviction), the prosecuting attorney, the LVMPD officer who testified against him, a bailiff, and others. His lawsuit is claiming damages starting at 29 million dollars ranging to a high of 50 million.

On March 4, 2024, Mr. DeCastro again tried to sue the Defendant's from his failed Ohio Federal Civil Lawsuit, this time filing and claiming residency in Nevada. With his original case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio being dismissed, and his follow-up appeal filed in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals being denied, this case was, as expected, transferred back to Ohio in August of 2025.

Complaint: Civil Defamation, Stalking, Harassment, Tortious Interference, Right To Publicity. On 02/06/2023, after having failed in Massachusetts in 2 attempts to obtain a RO against KATHERINE PETER, and rulings by the Judge in his Massachusetts Federal Case resulting in denials for many of his motions, JOSE MARIS DECASTRO has filed yet another case against MS. PETER, this time for Slander/Libel, in California State court.
