Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

What is a Dismissal of DOES

I am the Plaintiff in a Civil case regarding a Breach of Contract. I have served a summons to the Defendant and he has not responded. I submitted an Entry of Default with a Proof of Service, a Declaration, and a Request for Judgement. Apparently, all I need now is to submit a Dismissal of DOES. I picked up a Request for Dismissal from the courthouse, but don't know how I should fill it out. I don't want to fill it out incorrectly and have the case dismissed as a result. Can anyone walk me through filling it out correctly?

Re: What is a Dismissal of DOES

All you need to do is check "dismiss complaint" "without prejudice" and under "other", which you also check, type "Complaint as to Does 1 to ___ (whatever number), only". Of course, fill in all of the other case information at the top of the form, and sign the form where required.
