English term or phrase: Plaintiff, in its complaint against Defendants, and DOES 1 through ..
This is an example of a sentence in a summuns, which seems to be used quite regularly in the US. I would like to have suggestions about the meaning of, and how to translate the part "and DOES 1 through ..".
Thank you in advance.
