btw its not uncommon to have unnamed defendants...
in CA its pretty common practice to have 10, 50, or 100 "DOE Defendants" in lawsuits, even if you don't expect to add anybody. you basically just plead that the true iden y of DOES 1-100 are unknown at this time, and we reserve the right to amend the complaint upon learning such information"
its just a way to reserve your right to add somebody to the suit later. you then have to amend your complaint and say "DOE 1 will replaced with John Smith" etc.
then at some point during the proceedings the judge will tell you that its time to dismiss the doe defendants

this is hilarious
