      Yes, I’m saying if you can process someone for a crime without a home address you can do it for a lawsuit. It’s not some insurmountable hurdle.

        You can’t, it’s different. Charging someone with a crime is easy, and even if the person doesn’t talk or have ID they are given a John Doe identifier and a random number and will go through the criminal proceedings.

        In civil cases that information cannot be left blank, otherwise a clerk cannot file it and the courts won’t place it on a docket.
