. Defendant's claim on appeal that his counterclaim was not a counterclaim but an affirmative defense is without merit. Defendant denominated it as a counterclaim when he filed it with the trial court and requested as his relief the renewal of his lease. He also denominated it as a counterclaim when he voluntarily dismissed it on September 9, 1986. We accept defendant’s characterization of his pleading for purposes of determining the merits of his motion.
