We have previously held that “although the lack of subject matter jurisdiction cannot be raised by a motion for summary judgment, such a motion may be treated as one to dismiss.” Cranston Teachers Association v. Cranston School Committee, 120 R.I. 105, 108, 386 A.2d 176, 178 (1978). This Court will affirm the granting of a defendant’s motion to dismiss “if a plaintiff would not be entitled to relief from a defendant under any set of facts that could be proven in support of the plaintiffs complaint.” Garganta v. Mobile Village, Inc., 730 A.2d 1, 3 (R.I.1999) (per curiam) (citing Builders Specialty Co. v. Goulet, 639 A.2d 59, 60 (R.I.1994)).
