26.          That the undersigned counsel reserves the right to file an Amended Answer to assert any Affirmative Defenses he may have based upon any new matters relative to the above-styled cause of action that may not have been known to him at the time this Answer was filed.

AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

27.          No deficiency judgment can be entered against the Defendants since they were not personally served with process. SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

28.          The Guardian ad Litem, Attorney Ad Litem, Administrator Ad Litem,

affirmatively states that there has been a petition to Amend the Letters of Temporary Guardianship for Mary Jean Ziska, File No. 06-117-GA in and for Collier County, Florida. At the present time the public guardian who was appointed to protect the rights of Mary Jean Ziska has been relieved as guardian

and there is no guardian presently appointed to protect (Mary Jean Ziska) the ward’s interest. There is a Mr. Scott Renshaw who has stated that he has made an application to be appointed guardian, however he has not yet been approved by the Court. Therefore, based upon Mary Jean Ziska, the ward, since there is no guardian the case should be abated until she can be properly represented by a guardian or an attorney will represent her in this matter.

WHEREFORE, he submits the interest of said Defendants, MARY JEAN ZISKA, INCLUDING ANY UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF SAID DEFENDANT(S), IF REMARRIED, AND IF DECEASED, THE RESPECTIVE UNKNOWN HEIRS, DEVISEES, GRANTEES, ASSIGNEES, CREDITORS, LIENORS, AND TRUSTEES, AND ALL OTHER PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH, UNDER OR AGAINST THE NAMED DEFENDANT(S); if any, and all persons having any interest in the land described in the complaint filed herein, to the protection of the court.
