Alec Baldwin's Lawsuit Reinstated, Moves to Federal Court
22 Oct
Summary
- Baldwin's civil lawsuit against New Mexico officials was dismissed in July 2025 but later reinstated in September
- Baldwin accused officials of violating his constitutional rights and using the criminal case for personal gain
- The case has now been moved from state to federal court
According to recent developments, Alec Baldwin's civil lawsuit against several New Mexico officials has been reinstated after being dismissed over the summer. The lawsuit, which was originally filed in January 2025, had been tossed out in July due to inactivity. However, Baldwin's legal team successfully petitioned to have the case reopened in September.
The lawsuit names numerous high-profile officials, including the special prosecutor and district attorney, who were involved in Baldwin's criminal case for involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin has accused these defendants of violating his constitutional rights through "improper use of the criminal process," including failing to disclose evidence. He also alleged that the officials used the case to further their personal agendas and professional ambitions.
In a recent development, the defendants have now filed to move the case from state to federal court. A lawyer for the defendants cited Baldwin's inclusion of federal civil rights claims as the reason for the transfer. Baldwin still has the option to petition to have the case brought back to state court.
As of October 22nd, 2025, the future of this legal battle remains uncertain. However, it is clear that Baldwin is determined to hold the officials accountable for their actions, even if it means taking the fight to the federal level.
