This page might explain some of what's going on here.
Of course, none of this changes the root of the issue, which is that the Vickers trash fire lawsuit is going to be dragging in more people, and as of yet, it isn't clear who exactly Vickers thinks is an accessory.

In California, if you are ignorant of the name or identity of a defendant, you may still name that defendant in your complaint by naming him as a “Doe” (as in John Doe).
This is allowed by Code of Civil Procedure 474. [CCP 474].
This can be a very useful tool. For example, even in a rear-end car crash case where the injured person knows the name of the driver, it is often prudent to add some DOE defendants. If it is later discovered that the defendant was driving another person’s car at the time of the car accident, the plaintiff can amend the complaint to replace DOE 1 with the name of the car’s owner.
Through this legal fiction, the car owner has been a party to the case from the beginning, only no one knew his name.
There are of course many complexities involved with adding DOE defendants, and a lawyer should always be consulted before attempting it.
