According to the Maryland Judiciary website, on March 25, 2024, Collin Campbell's request for a Peace Order was granted and will be in effect until September 24, 2024.

On Febuary 26, 2024, Collin Campbell, Jose DeCastro's one-time business partner, filed for a Peace Order against Mr. DeCastro after Mr. DeCastro took to his YouTube channel, Delete Lawz, and made threats against him. A temporary order was granted and a hearing for a permanent order was been scheduled.

In Maryland, Protective Orders and Peace Orders are similiar. The difference: Protective orders apply if you are in a family-like or sexual relationship or if sexual assault has occurred; peace orders apply to all other relationships. For example between neighbors, strangers, co-workers, etc.

After filing for a Peace Order, and after the Temporary Order was issued, Collin Campbell filed paperwork requesting criminal charges be filed for a possible violation of the protection order. It appears that a criminal case was also opened and this page contains the details for the criminal case.

See Maryland v. DeCastro (D-09-CR-24-000572) for more information on the criminal case.

Currently, it cannot be determined if DeCastro has been served and there is inaccurate information, such as an incorrect date of birth and middle name, that may make the charges unenforceable.

After YouTuber, Michael Pierattini (a/k/a Blue Bacon), posted a number of videos that were critical of Jose Maria DeCastro (a/k/a Delete LawZ), Mr. DeCastro posted a video on November 11th that contained personal details about Mr. Pierattini and included a threat to provide his address to someone who was 'very angry.' In his video on November 14th, Mr. Pierattini responded with a statement that he filed for a Temporary Restraining Order, along with filing complaints with other agencies, against Mr. DeCastro based on Mr. DeCastro's apparent threat and his contacting Mr. Pierattini's immediate family who have no connection to Mr. Pierattini's channel, contents and commentary. A hearing was held on January 6, 2023, and later that evening Michael Pierattini announced on his Blue Bacon YouTube channel that the Judge approved a 1-year Personal Protection Order against Jose Maria Decastro.

On 10/07/2022 DECASTRO, JOSE MARIA filed a Family - Harassment lawsuit against OMO, DAVID SCOTT, JR. (a/k/a Team Skeptic). This case was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Courts, Stanley Mosk Courthouse located in Los Angeles, California. The Judge overseeing this case is GERBER, HILLARY. The Plaintiff was granted an extension of time to serve the Defendant after being unable to do so withing the original timeframe. On November 18th, when the extension ended, the case was dismissed as the Defendant still had not been served. The Plaintiff said on a YouTube video after the denial that he intends to refile. To this date, he has not.

Restraining Order Hearing - Dismissed - TRO-Lack of Prosecution

On 06/11/2004 KACEY BYTHEWAY filed a Family - Other Family lawsuit against JOSE MARIA DECASTRO. This case was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Courts, Santa Monica Courthouse located in Los Angeles, California. The Judges overseeing this case were COWAN, DAVID J., TILLMON, BOBBI and JONES, ANTHONY. The case status is Disposed - Other Disposed.

In 2007 a Permanent Protection Order was Granted but it appears that later court actions altered the PPO.

Upon cursory review, it appears the most recent/final Restraining Order expired on 11/14/2012
and there is no Permanent Order in effect.
