Pat: An Unpersuasive Brief
24 minutes, 11 seconds
Jose “Chille” DeCastro just filed his appellate brief on 5/6/24. It was timely under the 40 day “Fast-Track” appellate rules. I was unpersuaded by this brief. Procedurally (and I’m not a Nevada lawyer) the appellate rules limit briefs to 16 pages, not 31. It's possible they either violated the rule or have permission from a different rule I am not aware of. There are also requirements that must be addressed separately, such as grounds for jurisdiction, errors at the trial court that warrant scrutiny, etc. I didn’t see any of that specifically listed. There were typographical errors, and attempts to creatively abstract this case to the George Floyd murder and to racism. None of this was addressed at trial, and isn’t part of the record. Instead of a focused brief on the narrow issues of statutory interpretation, it was skimmed over. The manner in which the brief was written failed to grab my attention and persuade me. The brief took a very risky approach, and heavily criticized Judge Zimmerman, and threw Michael Mee “under the bus.” Take great caution in how you attack a judge, and if you take such a bold move, be sure you are right. Many justices/judges will view such an attempt as the last refuge of legally dead arguments. The brief also contained a robotic style of writing. I deleted clauses and revised sentences for clarity. This was my "Delete Clawz" satire. I didn’t see the how the brief could rely very heavily on First Circuit authority, when we are in the Ninth Circuit, and point to law review articles, which are pretty much ignored by California lawyers. Maybe this is a different in Nevada? None of this legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is expressed, implied and is flatly rejected. I am not licensed in Nevada, and am not offering any legal advice in that state. I am merely commenting on a public issue. This is for entertainment only. I reserve all rights, including California's anti-SLAPP laws. I am not suggesting or inferring that anyone committed malpractice or violated any standard of care. This video is just my personal reaction. There can be legitimate and strategic reasons persons or lawyers took the actions that they did, and not as a result of some error.

Pat: Chille Incommunicado?
16 minutes, 2 seconds
Very bizarre hearing. Again, lets thank Our Nevada Judges for the footage. Please subscribe and contribute to their channel. In this run-of-the-mill hearing in Las Vegas Municipal Court, a number of bizarre things unfolded. First, his appellate lawyer, Mr. Oram, made a "special appearance," meaning he isn't counsel of record for this Vegas case. Chille did not show - not even by remote video. Oram made it clear that he is not representing Chille in this case. Chille didn't have a lawyer, and Oram apparently said that Chille doesn't have the money for one. Hasn't Chille raised a lot of money for his legal challenges? Second, why did Vegas threaten an arrest warrant? Chille is already locked up. He can appear remotely. Chille can't appear unless he is allowed to. Third, why was there a need for Oram to specially appear, when Chille could have been transported or appeared via video? Fourth, Oram said he would notify Chille "by letter" regarding the upcoming and continued hearing date. Why "by letter"? Why not just call, visit or email him? Is Oram possibly admitting that he wants no further connection with Chille, and is being especially careful to keep everything in writing to disavow any claim that he is counsel in this case? For attorneys, once they appear in a court as attorney of record, they are on the case until the client or the court releases them. Oram was making extra careful to let the court know he isn't involved in this legal matter, even though it is just a misdemeanor case for which he has tremendous experience. Again, why? Has the drama regarding Chille and Judge Zimmerman caused Oram to back away, and to conclude the appellate briefing and then no longer represent Chille? Also, with Chille's criticisms of Mee, he is making even harder to find a lawyer. We don't have solid answers, but this hearing raise many questions. None of this legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is expressed or implied and is flatly rejected. I am not licensed in Nevada, and am not offering any legal advice. This is for entertainment only. I reserve all rights, including California's anti-SLAPP laws. I am not suggesting or inferring that anyone committed malpractice or violated any standard of care.

Pat: Jail Call Indictments?
23 minutes, 6 seconds
[ABOUT THE END OF THE VIDEO - THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY LATE PUP, "WALLEE," WHO PASSED AWAY ON 5/15/23 AFTER BATTLING CANCER. HE WAS TAKING CHEMO AND WE WERE COMING BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL. I MISS HIM TERRIBLY. SINCE CHILLIE MENTIONED A "DOG" IN HIS VIDEO, I FIGURED I WOULD PROFILE WALLEE. ALL DOGS ARE PURE SOULS.] Jose "Chille" DeCastro's jail call needs to be taken down and recanted, including the "petitioning" activity he claims his supporters should do - that is, mailing letters of support to Judge Zimmerman. First, Judge Zimmerman cannot simply "release" Chille. She no longer has jurisdiction and there's nothing in the code that allows a convict to be released simply because supporters flood the court with these so-called "petitions." I take a look at Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") 200.571, which makes it a misdemeanor on a first offense to "do any act which is intended to substantially harm the person...with respect to his or her physical or mental health or safety." This becomes a Class C felony if broadcasted over the internet. The question is this: did Chille break the law with this call? I think in some areas he did, but it is not my decision, nor am I am Nevada lawyer. This is just my opinion from a California perspective on a public issue as it has been broadcasted locally in Las Vegas, and Chille himself said he is going to broadcast his findings about Judge Zimmerman's alleged sentencing bias in the news media. Using the US mail to deliver these "petitions" could call in the United States Postal Inspection Service, the nation's first law enforcement agency, which Ben Franklin started to protect mail carriers. Because a judge is involved, and given the recent attack on a Nevada judge, and that the situation is volatile, I think Chille needs to step forward and disavow and call it off. This type of activities make it very difficult - if not impossible - for a lawyer to represent him. If he were my client, I would have told him to keep his head down, don't make waves, and get out as early as possible through good-time credits or any legal maneuvering he can do through his lawyers. What I discuss here is simply my perspective and does not have the force of law. Chille also stated in a video that an anti-terrorism unit contacted him in the jail. I have heard that the court is being subjected to call flooding and that a large amount of these so-called "petitions" have hit the court. I have also heard that Judge Zimmerman has taken issue with it, and Chille is wrong to call her out personally and to discuss her personal life. None of this is legal advice, and is my commenting on a public issue. This matter has been reported in local Vegas newspapers. I reserve all rights, including the protection afforded under California anti-SLAPP's statute. I am not a Nevada lawyer, and no attorney-client relationship is express or implied, and is expressly declined.
