"Anyone can sue anyone at anytime, so DM can sue each of these parties individually."

Having them on the record would make the process more straight line.

From the answers you are giving me, I guess, DM can not force the issue of getting possible impleaded entities on the record.

With that, reading a prior post of yours, the court has to grant the request of Vivitar to implead before hand anyway.

Perhaps I'm a bit premature with my questions at this point.
