Decastro v. McKnight, Wagner, et al

Federal

On March 10, 2025, Jose DeCastro filed a proof of service that the defendants had been served. There may still be an issue as the service was made on March 4, 2025, which appears to be well outside the period of time allowed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). The case could still be dismissed if the Judge rules the service was untimely. After the defendants were served, several Ohio attorneys have filed Pro Hac Vice motions to represent the defendants in Nevada Federal Court.

On February 14, 2025, the court issued their "Notice Regarding Intention to Dismiss Pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Jose DeCastro had not served the defendants within 90 days after the complaint has been filed.

He appears to have 3 options at this point, and a deadline of March 16th:

  1. Show that service on the party took place prior to the expiration of the time limit set forth in Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m)
  2. File a good cause reason as to why the court should extend the time to serve
  3. Do nothing and let the case be dismissed without prejudice.

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, speculation is that this case will also be dismissed.

DeCastro v. Las Vegas Metropolitan PD et al

Federal

On April 17, 2023, Mr. DeCastro went live on YouTube and stated that he was about to file a Federal lawsuit against Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the State of Nevada, numerous officers and John Does. This appears to be in retaliation for his March 15 arrest for Obstruction and Resisting during which Mr. DeCastro can be heard making claims that the officers were violating his rights for turning off his phone which was running a live stream on YouTube, and that an officer holding his arm to restrain him was torture. Shortly afterward, the case appeared on PACER with a case number and Judge assignment.

As of March 23, 2025, Mr. DeCastro has an ACTIVE WARRANT out of Ironton, Ohio, according to the Court's website.

Charges were filed by the City of Ironton after Jose Maria DeCastro refused to leave a city building after closing hours, claiming his unpermitted 'training class' was now a 'protest'.
