Judgment for possession was entered for plaintiff on July 8, 1998, and defendant was ordered to pay $241 in back rent, plus interests and costs. Subsequently, Blan-chette filed an appeal in Superior Court and asked that the matter be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1), or in the alternative, for summary judgment. The motion justice granted dismissal, finding that plaintiffs termination notice was fatally defective for failing to comply with the Code of Federal Regulations, 24 C.F.R. § 247.4(a)(l)(2000), which required a specific termination date for a federally subsidized tenancy.
