John Doe defendant

An anonymous defendant labeled “John Doe” because the plaintiff does not, at the time of filing suit, know the person’s name.

• John Doe defendants are common in several situations, such as police-brutality lawsuits in which the plaintiff does not know the names of the officers allegedly at fault. See JOHN DOE.
