The court struck affirmative defenses that were not pleaded with the level of detail required by Heller Financial, Inc. v. Midwhey Powder Co., Inc., 883 F.2d 1286 (7th Cir. 1989). However, the court gave reasons for applying a relaxed pleading standard to affirmative defenses and concluded that the “plausibility” standard that applies to claims for relief does not apply to affirmative defenses.
