against the plaintiff in this small claims case:

If you have a claim against the plaintiff which arises out of the transaction or occurrence which is the subject of plaintiff’s claim and your claim does not

exceed $4000.00, you must state you claim in the space provided on the form for “Defendant’s Claim”, and return it to the Judge or clerk

of the court on or before the time set for trial. If your claim against the plaintiff exceeds $4000,

as determined by your estimate of its value under oath.
