IMPORTANT: If you have affirmative defenses, you must state them now using the last page of this form. If you do not, the court may prohibit you from
raising them later. An affirmative defense is a defense claiming that the plaintiff is not entitled to a judgment because other facts exist that create a lawful
defense. Affirmative defenses allow you to provide information to the court that is not stated in the plaintiff’s complaint.
