          Plaintiff VILLAS        AT   EMERALD     LAKE             HOMEOWNERS    ASSOCIATION,      INC.

(“Plaintiff”), by and through its undersigned attorneys, hereby replies to all affirmative defenses

raised by Defendant IMPERIAL BUILDING CORPORATION                         (“IMPERIAL”), in its Answer to


1296931\v2
Plaintiff's Amended Complaint.   Plaintiff moves to strike all affirmative defenses as they fail to

allege ultimate facts and thus fail to meet the requirements of Florida Rule of Civil Procedure

1.140. Plaintiff further avoids and denies all affirmative defenses raised by IMPERIAL         and

demands strict proof thereof.
