The defendant answered as follows:

I.
Every allegation in Plaintiffs Petition is denied by this Defendant unless specifically admitted in this Answer.
II.
Defendant is without sufficient knowledge or information to either admit or deny the allegations contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Plaintiff s Petition, and the same are therefore denied.
III.
The allegations in paragraph 3 of Plaintiff’s Petition are denied.
Iv.
With regard to the allegations contained in paragraph 4 of Plaintiff’s Petition, Defendants admit that Carrington Place of Tulsa, L.L.C., d/b/a Sand Springs Nursing & Rehab is a validly- formed and existing Oklahoma limited liability company, which has been authorized to conduct and maintain a nursing facility known as Sand Springs Nursing & Rehab in Sand Springs, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, since November, 2011. This Defendant denies Plaintiff’s allegation that it is “a/k/a Oakdale Manor.”
V.
The allegations in paragraph 5 of Plaintiff’s Petition do not relate to this answering Defendant and therefore, no response is required. To the extent a response is required, the allegations contained in paragraph 5 of Plaintiff’s Petition are denied.
VI.
Paragraphs 6 and 7 of Plaintiff’s Petition contain legal conclusions, to which no response is required. To the extent a response is required, the allegations contained in paragraphs 6 and 7 of Plaintiff’s Petition are denied.

x.

ADDITIONAL DEFENSES
1. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, either in whole or in part.
2. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant are barred in whole or in part by applicable statutes of limitation and/or the doctrine of laches andJor the doctrine of estoppel.
3. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff’s claims are subject to the provisions of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Lawsuit Reform Act of 2009, Laws 2009, HB 1603, c. 228, § 2, effective November 1,2009.
4. Defendant denies any negligence in the care and treatment of Myrtle Merritt during her residence as a patient at the subject nursing facility from 2004 until her discharge in February,
2012.
5. Defendant denies that any act or failure to act on the part of any agent, servant or employee of Defendant caused and/or contributed to any injury to the subject resident.
6. Defendant asserts that the subject resident’s injuries and/or medical conditions, if any, preexisted her admission to the facility or were proximately caused by the negligence of Plaintiff, or of third parties over whom Defendant exercised no control.
7. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted to the extent Plaintiff seeks relief premised upon a violation of Title XVIII or Title XIX of the Social
Security Act [42 U.S.C.A. § 1395 & 1396 et seq. and their implementing regulations 42 C.F.R. §
483.1 et seq.], as she has no private right of action under the Act, nor does she have standing to assert a violation under the Act as sole responsibility for enforcement of the Act lies with federal (Department of Human Services) or state (Oklahoma State Health Department) officials.
8. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted to the extent Plaintiff seeks relief premised upon a violation of The Residential Care Act, 63 O.S.
§ 1-819 et seq., as she has no private right of action under the Act, nor does she have standing to assert a violation under the Act as sole responsibility for enforcement of the Act lies with state (Oklahoma State Health Department) officials.
9. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted to the extent Plaintiff seeks relief premised upon a violation of The Residential Care Act, 63 O.S.
§ 1-819 et seq., as the subject facility is not a “Residential Care Home” as defined under the Act, 63 O.S. § 1-820(1 1), and thus is exempt from compliance with the Act.
10. Defendant denies the existence of any contract with the Plaintiff to the extent the purpose of which was to provide to resident anything other than “ordinary care” of a type routinely provided in a nursing home setting.
11. Defendant asserts that to the extent an Admissions Agreement governing payment terms and conditions was created with the Plaintiff, Defendant denies its breach in any fashion, and more specifically, denies its breach as alleged by Plaintiff as the care and treatment the subject resident received was proper and consistent with the prevailing standard of care for such medical treatment.
12. Defendant asserts Plaintiff has failed to assert a failure to perform (breach) by Defendant under the Admissions Agreement, but rather only an inadequate performance in that nursing home care and treatment was provided to the subject resident but at a level below her liking which is, in law, a claim of negligence based in tort, not contract.
13. Alternatively, Defendant asserts that the Plaintiff failed to mitigate her damages as is her duty pursuant to the claim for breach of contract.
14. Defendant denies that it is liable for any punitive and/or exemplary damages. Defendant denies any act or failure to act on the part of any agent, servant or employee of Defendant in relation to the Plaintiff sufficient to warrant the imposition of punitive damages.
15. Defendant asserts that to allow punitive damages to be assessed against Defendant in this case would violate the law as pronounced by the United States Supreme Court in Phillip Morris v. Williams, 549 U.S. 346, 127 S.Ct. 1057, 166 L. Ed. 2d 940 (2007); State Farm v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408, 123 S.Ct. 1513, 155 L.Ed. 2d 585 (2003); Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Leatherman Tool Group, Inc., 532 U.S. 424, 121 S.Ct. 1678, 149 L. Ed. 2d 674 (2001); and BMW ofNorthAmerica, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559, 116 S.Ct. 1589, 134 L. Ed. 2d 809 (1996).
16. Defendant asserts that any claim for punitive damages is preempted by the federal statutory and regulatory scheme related to nursing homes. Pursuant to the Excessive Fines Clause
of the Eighth Amendment and the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, Plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages is specifically limited to the amount of any applicable fine which may be imposed on Defendant by the government of the United States, the State of Oklahoma, and/or any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency, commission, or body.
17. Defendant asserts Plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages violates provisions of the
Oklahoma and U.S. Constitutions. For example, the imposition of punitive damages under
Oklahoma law would violate the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the
U.S. Constitution in each of the following ways:
(a) Oklahoma law permits the imposition of unlimited punitive damages that are vastly disproportionate to any acts or compensatory injury thereby violating the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
(b) Disproportionate punitive damages constitute an arbitrary and capricious taking of property which is unjustified by any rational governmental interests, thereby violating the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
(c) The award of punitive damages without specific standards to guide the jury’s discretion in determining the amount of damages is contrary to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
(d) Oklahoma does not provide a reasonable limit on the amount of any punitive damages award, thus violating the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
(e) The substance of standards of liability under which punitive damages are sought in this case are ambiguous, subjective, and not reasonably ascertainable, fail to give Defendant prior notice of the conduct for which punitive damages may be imposed, and the severity of the penalty that may be imposed, and are “void for vagueness” under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
(f) Oklahoma law fails to provide a clear, objective and consistent appellate standard for post-verdict review of punitive damages thus violating the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
(g) Oklahoma law permits civil punishment upon a standard of proof less than required for the imposition of criminal sanctions.
(h) Oklahoma law permits multiple awards of punitive damages for the same alleged act or omission.
(i) Oklahoma law and procedures governing Plaintiffs punitive damage claim violates the Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination under the U.S. Constitution because said claim is penal in nature, while defendant is required to disclose documents and/or other evidence against its interests under the rules of discovery and evidence.
(j) The procedural standards for imposing punitive damages are unduly vague and do not furnish the jury sufficient guidance in determining whether and how much to award punitive damages for the alleged tortious acts of the defendants and thereby permits arbitrary and capricious taking of property in violation of
the due process clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
18. Defendant asserts that any award of punitive damages in this case would be violative of Defendant’s procedural and substantive due process rights because circumstances in this case are insufficient to support the reasonableness of an award of punitive damages and there are inadequate legal and procedural constraints imposed on the fact finder’s discretion to impose such awards. The standard for punitive damages lacks sufficiently objective criteria and procedural safeguards to give a jury adequate criteria on an appropriate range of proportionality regarding punitive damages and inappropriately allows consideration of lawful conduct by a defendant outside the forum state and harm to non-parties rather than limiting the analysis to conduct by the defendant occurring within the forum state only and only involving parties to the litigation. Furthermore, post-trial procedures and standards for trial court scrutiny of punitive damages awards and standards for appellate review of punitive damages awards are insufficient, and, therefore, violate Defendant’s right to due process of law.
19. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff’s claims for punitive damages against Defendant cannot be sustained, because an award of punitive damages under Oklahoma law which allows Plaintiff to prejudicially emphasize the corporate status of Defendant violates Defendant’s due process and equal protection rights guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, and would be improper under the common law and public policy of Oklahoma.
20. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff’s claims for punitive damages against Defendant cannot be sustained because any award for punitive damages made under a process which fails to
filly bifurcate the issue of punitive damages from the remaining issues would violate Defendant’s due process rights guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, and would be improper under the common law and public policy of Oklahoma.
21. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff is not entitled to a trial by jury on the issue of punitive damages under the United States Supreme Court decision in Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Leatherman Tool Group, Inc., 532 U.S. 424, 121 S.Ct. 1678, 149 L. Ed. 2d 674 (2001).
22. Defendant asserts that to the extent Plaintiff makes any claim pursuant to The Nursing
Home Care Act, 63 0. S. § 1-1901 et seq., for an award of attorneys fees, Defendant asserts that such
a claim is not supported by applicable state law 63 O.S. § 1-1918(F) as amended and effective July
1, 2003, and violates the equal protection provisions of the Oklahoma and U.S. Constitutions.
23. Defendant asserts that Plaintiffs claims are subject to the provisions of the Oklahoma Affordable Access to Health Care Act, effective July 1, 2003.
24. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to adequately comply with the expert opinion requirements of 12 O.S. § 19(A).
25. Defendant raises the defense of lack of capacity of a party to sue.
26. Plaintiff lacks the standing to bring this action.
27. Defendant asserts the applicability and protections of a binding arbitration agreement which exists between the parties governing the resolution of disputes pursuant to the terms and conditions of the arbitration contract. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to the transaction/agreement between the Defendants and Plaintiff. The Oklahoma Nursing Home Care Act is pre-empted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
28. Defendants assert the applicability and protections of the United States Supreme Court’s holdings in Marmet Health Care Ctr., Inc. v. Brown, 132 S.Ct. 1201, 182 L. Ed. 2d 42 (2012) and inNitro-Lift Techs., L.L.C. v. Howard, 133 S. Ct. 500, 184 L. Ed. 2d 328 (2012) which state the controlling law to be applied in this case.
29. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff’s injuries, if any, were proximately caused or contributed to by the unforeseeable wrongful or negligent act or omission of persons acting outside the scope of their employment, or of persons over whom this Defendant exercised no control.
30. Defendant asserts that the Plaintiff’s injuries, if any, were caused by a pre-existing or post-developing unrelated medical condition, disease, illness or infection of the Plaintiff for which this defendant is not responsible.
31. Defendant asserts that any damages allegedly suffered by Plaintiff were caused by risks known and assumed by Plaintiff, and/or Resident.
32. Defendant asserts that the Plaintiff’s injuries, if any, were the result of an unforeseeable or unavoidable complications due to an underlying condition of the Plaintiff, which were not caused by the acts of Defendant.
33. Defendant asserts that the Plaintiff’s injuries, if any, were caused by other, unrelated physical or mental or personal conditions of the Plaintiff for which this defendant is not responsible.
34. Defendant asserts that the injuries alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff were the result of an intervening or supervening cause.
35. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to properly state a cause of action for negligence per Se.
36. Defendant asserts that plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted to the extent plaintiff seeks relief premised upon a violation of the Nursing Home Care Act, 63 O.S. 1991, § § 1-1901 et seq. and/or Title 310, Chapter 675 of the Oklahoma Regulations for Licensure ofNursing and Specialized Facilities, and/or federal nursing home regulations, as neither the Nursing Home Care Act nor the referenced State regulations or federal regulations establish standards of care in medical liability actions or set forth positive objective standards necessary for a claim of negligence per Se.
37. Defendant asserts that Defendant is a validly-formed corporate entity, and is entitled to the protection of the particular business form it has chosen.
38. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to properly state a claim for relief for negligent hiring, training, supervision and staffing.
39. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to sufficiently establish the foundational facts necessary for application of the evidentiary doctrine of res ipsa loquitur.
40. Defendant asserts that Plaintiff has failed to state a negligenceper se claim upon which relief can be granted to the extent Plaintiff seeks relief premised upon a violation of The Oklahoma Nursing Home Care Act, 63 O.S. § 1-1901 et seq., and its implementing regulations, Title 310, Chapter 675, Oklahoma Administrative Code, as Plaintiff lacks standing to assert a violation of the Act.
41. Whereas discovery has not yet begun, Defendant reserves the right to plead additional defenses as information is made known to it.
