John doe subponea
I got a subpoena this week and it says my name vs John Doe. I am being called as a witness.
What does this mean and what is John Doe? I am confused
More information : I am to bring my computer, any other information regarding e-mails.
I just found out that my friend who received the original e-mails did not get a subponea

If the case name says that the litigation is you vs. John Doe, then you are the plaintiff, and you started the litigation, so I don't know why you are so confused by the proceedings. Presumably, either you filed the complaint or an attorney filed it on your behalf, and if the latter situation is true, I don't know why you're not consulting with that person to get answers to these questions. In any event, to the extent that the defendant is identified as "John Doe," apparently a pseudonym is being used to protect the identity of the defendant, due to then nature of the allegations you've made. Although I don't know anything about this case, I would strongly urge you to consult directly with an attorney to clarify some of these things, if you haven't done so already.

As I staid before and as George is saying, you are not going to find a solution on this site.
You should absolutely seek the assistance of an attorney in what seems to be a complex matter. Reposting the question does not alter the burden on you.
