St Luke's Exposed

Posted: September 12th, 2026

I am sending this message today because I have a specific prayer request to ask of you. But it is a SPECIFIC request for a SPECIFIC need at a SPECIFIC TIME. So in order to understand, let me give you the background context really fast.

This last weekend, I received notice that my appeal case was officially docketed with the US Supreme Court. This is kind of a big deal. Remember, I don’t have any legal support, no lawyers, and no professionals helping in this process. It’s just me, an exorbitant amount of time, prayers, what I believe to be guidance from the Spirit of God, and lots of computer tools helping me out.

So having the case docketed does not mean that the US Supreme Court will actually hear the case. But it does mean that the petition will ultimately be distributed to the Supreme Court for consideration, and the 9 Justices will determine whether or not they are going to hear the case.

Now, the Supreme Court ultimately agrees to hear only about 1% of the petitions asking it to review a case, so the chances are already super slim. It would basically take a miracle to have them hear the case. But the fact that we’ve gotten this case all the way to the United States Supreme Court and successfully gotten the petition filed and docketed—after everything we’ve fought through over the last four years—is already an extraordinary milestone for us. If God wants to shut the next door, then so be it. I can wash my hands cleanly and know that I did as much as I could do.

But if God wants to take this as an opportunity to expand our faith and push this to the next level in a miraculous way, then at the very least, I will pray for that and ask for additional prayer.

Now when you ask the Supreme Court to review a case through a petition for certiorari, you are not supposed to simply re-argue your entire case and all of the various issues and injustices that took place. You’re supposed to identify a specific federal question important enough that the Supreme Court should step in and resolve it. That’s essentially what certiorari review is about. That’s kind of the standard for how and why the Supreme Court would take a case.

In my original appeal with the Idaho Supreme Court, I made 6 powerful arguments that the Idaho Supreme Court would not be able to refute, so instead they simply dismissed all of them on procedural grounds. In short, they said, “Hey Diego, you didn’t follow the proper procedures that you’re supposed to, because you’re not a lawyer and you don’t know the rules or procedures, so we’re simply not going to consider the merits of your arguments, we’re simply dismissing them all.” That’s what happened, as many of you already know.

Now before you get too all upset thinking that this was some type of specific heinous action the Idaho Supreme Court took against me because of the people involved and because of their desire to do us harm and all that—the truth is that using procedural arguments to throw out valuable cases happens all the time—like every day in America.

In fact, whenever injustice takes place, which is quite common, the #1 tool that is used is PROCEDURAL dismissal instead of hearing the actual merits of the argument. So this is not new. It’s the most common tool that a corrupt judiciary uses whenever they want to.

However, we chose one of those 6 arguments to make a narrow request of the US Supreme Court. And that issue was the issue of Jury Bias. You see, the Constitution guarantees us the right to an impartial jury in a criminal trial. In a civil case, the Constitution guarantees due process, and Supreme Court precedent has repeatedly recognized the fundamental importance of impartial decision-makers and impartial juries. But unlike the Sixth Amendment in criminal cases, there is no equally explicit constitutional sentence saying that every civil litigant is entitled to an ‘impartial jury.’ And that unresolved constitutional line is central to what we are asking the Supreme Court to address.

In my case, there were 4 jurors who openly admitted to being biased against us as defendants and also biased in favor of the plaintiffs, which was St Luke’s Hospital, specifically. But the judge let them stay on the jury regardless of them admitting to being biased and unable to be impartial.

That is an obvious miscarriage of justice. But the Idaho Supreme Court essentially said, “Diego we will not even consider whether or not biased jury members were seated or not, because you didn’t show up to the trial, so you waived your right to have unbiased jury members.” You can read it for yourself.

So now we’re taking this argument to the US Supreme Court. The argument is simple which is this—in spite of procedural error, JUSTICE is so preeminent that no court should allow admittedly biased jury members to be seated, period. Because to do so would be to violate the 5th Amendment Due Process requirements, and the spirit of justice altogether.

That’s all we’re asking. We’re asking the Supreme Court to come down on the side of justice and of common sense and to say that NO admittedly biased juror should be allowed to be seated on any trial, because it will ensure a miscarriage of justice.

This argument has now been made in my Petition for a Writ of Certiorari—which is the document you file asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. And it has now been docketed!

From here, St. Luke’s legal counsel has until September 30th to file a response if they choose to do so. If they file a brief opposing the petition, I can file a reply addressing the arguments they raise. After that, the petition and those briefs are distributed to the Supreme Court for consideration. The Justices and their law clerks review the petitions, the case is scheduled for a Supreme Court conference, and ultimately the Court decides whether certiorari will be granted. And here is the incredible part: it does not take five votes. Under what is called the ‘Rule of Four,’ only four Justices have to vote to hear the case.

So if 4 justices look at the Baby Cyrus case and say, “What, we’ve got a case of national importance that was decided as a default judgment, where the Defendants never had a chance to defend themselves, were denied the right to provide their own evidence showing their innocence, and even had their responses in the trial struck from the record so the jury and future courts could never read them, and then allowed 4 admittedly biased jurors to sit on the jury and decide the outcome—which ultimately ended in a life-destroying $52 million judgment against regular American citizens? And this happened in America?”

We only need 4 justices to read that and to say, “Oh no way, we’re going to hear this case.”

Now remember, incredibly important cases and unbelievable cases of outrageous injustice go before the US Supreme Court all the time, and 99% of the time are never even heard. So regardless of how important this case sounds to you, and how deep the injustice is, it will still take a miracle for this case to be heard.

So now you know the story. This is where we’re at. And that is why I am coming to you to ask for prayer. That’s it. That’s all I’m asking for. We don’t want money or donations for legal support, nor rallies, emails, phone calls, or anything like that. None of that will do any good at this point. The only thing that can help is a miracle from God. And so I’m turning to you all for prayer.

Would you please help us, and just join with us in prayer, in asking God to perform a miracle and put it on the hearts of just 4 US Supreme Court justices to hear this case? That’s what I’m asking.

And at this point all I can say is THANK YOU. Thank you for all of your support so far. Thank you for everything you’ve done and how you’ve joined with our family. Today, Baby Cyrus is 5 years old. His twin sisters are 2 years old. And I’m getting older and grayer every day, as it’s been a long and wearisome 4 year long battle. My grandkids would not be strong and healthy in a beautiful family if it had not been for all of your support and God’s grace and mercy in the process.

If this is the end of the road, so be it. But if God chooses to answer these prayers and do another miracle, then AMEN, HALLELUJAH! I’m here for it! So thanks again, my brothers and sisters!
