Description
"Doe Defendants 1-50," the complaint averred, "are persons, corporations, partnerships, [and] hospitals [who] performed some act in a negligent or . . . tortious manner and/or designed, tested, inspected, produced, manufactured, distributed, supplied and/or sold the retractor . . . or are persons or entities who cannot be named as Defendants at this time because the Medical Claim Conciliation process has not yet been completed." Patricia Tobosa, the complaint stated, "has been unable to identify [the Doe Defendants] to date" despite "diligent efforts to determine [their] true names and identities" and "has sued said Defendants with fictitious names pursuant to Rule 17(d) of the Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure." Leave to amend the complaint to reflect the true names, identities, capacities, acts, and omissions of the defendants upon confirmation thereof was also requested. "The Doe Defendants who participated in the [surgery performed on Mrs. Tobosa] on . . . October 20, 1983," the complaint further alleged, "were negligent" and the retractor they used "contained design and/or manufacturing defects" and also "did not contain adequate warnings of dangers and/or defects associated with its use."
