Rule 39. Pleading Special Matters
A party shall set forth in the party's pleading any matter
constituting an avoidance or affirmative defense, including res
judicata, collateral estoppel, estoppel, waiver, duress, fraud, and
the statute of limitations. A mere denial in a responsive pleading
will not be sufficient to raise any such issue.
