Sample Letter to Clerk regarding filing of Cross claim and Affirmative Defenses in Arizona [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Today’s Date] Clerk of the Court [Court Name] [Court Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Case No. [Case Number] Defendant: [Defendant Name] Dear Clerk of the Court, I, [Your Name], the defendant in the above-mentioned case, am I writing to file a cross claim and assert affirmative defenses in accordance with the rules of civil procedure. Please find enclosed the necessary documents for the filing, as well as the corresponding filing fee. 1. Cross claim: I hereby file a cross claim against [Co-Defendant Name(s)]. The cross claim arises out of the same incident that gave rise to the plaintiff's allegations and seeks relief, in part, from the co-defendant's negligence and contribution to the plaintiff's alleged damages. I request that the cross claim be made part of the official court records. 2. Affirmative Defenses: In addition to the cross claim, I assert the following affirmative defenses in response to the plaintiff's complaint: a) Statute of Limitations: I argue that the plaintiff's claim is time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations as the incident occurred more than [statute of limitations period] ago. b) Contributory Negligence: I contend that the plaintiff's own negligence contributed significantly to the alleged damages, thereby reducing or eliminating their right to recover damages. c) Assumption of Risk: I maintain that the plaintiff knowingly and voluntarily assumed the risks associated with the activities involved, thereby absolving me of liability. d) Lack of Standing: I assert that the plaintiff lacks the legal standing to bring forth this lawsuit as they do not have a valid legal right or interest in the matter at hand. Please include these affirmative defenses in the court records as an integral part of my defense in this case. I have enclosed the required two copies of the cross claim and affirmative defenses with this letter, along with the appropriate fee for filing. If there are any additional documents or fees necessary for proper filing, please kindly advise me and I will promptly provide them. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I request that you provide me with a filed-stamped copy of the cross claim and affirmative defenses for my records once the filing has been completed. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
