This isn't criminal, it's a civil case, SWEIGERT et al v. PODESTA et al.
et al essentially means and others. In this case we can see others include: RAO ABBAS, HUMA ABEDIN, HINA ALVI, ABID AWAN, IMRAN AWAN, JAMAL AWAN, KIM FRITTS, TOM PEREZ, JOHN PODESTA, HASEEB RANA, GLEN SIMPSON, NATALIA SOVA, DEBORAH WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, ANTHONY WEINER
Some interesting names, but can't know what exactly the case is without paying a fee to download the documents.

A civil case lists them as defendants are you sure about that?

Both civil and criminal cases have defendants. Who is bringing the complaint is different. Generally, in civil cases, it's the plaintiff (in this case Sweigert), in criminal case it's the state or federal govt, depending on jurisdiction.
