On March 5, 2024. Jose Maria "Chille" DeCastro appears to have made the unusual move of filing another lawsuit against the Officers and Officials in Ironton, Ohio, but this time in Nevada State Court. Not much is known about this filing, but it appears to be another attempt to sue the defendant's that he sued and lost to in Ohio Federal court. That case was dismissed with prejudice. He is currently appealing that decistion in the Federal 6th District. Then, the day before filing this case in State court, he filed a new Federal suit in Nevada against Ohio defendants.

Both these new Federal and State lawsuits have issues due to the earlier dismissal with prejudice, and with juridiction as filing in Nevada for both of these cases is questionable.

On March 4, 2024, Mr. DeCastro again tries 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.

On October 5th, 2023, Jose DeCastro filed this appeal when the Judge dismissed DeCastro v. Wagner, et al with prejudice.

On June 25, 2024, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, without hearing oral arguments, denied Jose DeCastro appeal.

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.

On October 23, 2023, major portions of this case were DISMISSED, some With Prejudice and some Without. District Judge Andrew P. Gordon issued an order granting the defendents' motion to dismiss 'with prejudice' the portions of Mr. DeCastro's case pertaining to his claims of Fourth Amendment unreasonable search and seizure based on the arrest and search, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy, and negligence based on the arrest and search. He cannot refile these claims.

Included in the order the Judge states "...the officers had probable cause to arrest DeCastro for obstruction."

Mr. DeCastro appears to have ignored the Court's advice and refiled all the charges in his second amended complaint.

As of August 28, 2024, there is still an ACTIVE WARRANT in Ohio for this case 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'. After a court date was set regarding a possible violation of conditional release which Mr. DeCastro claimed was a 'set up,' Mr. DeCastro left town and a bench warrant was issued when he failed to appear.
