We agree with the motion judge that given the dearth of allegations about any claimed damages, "DuLaurence has failed to allege, beyond the type of labels and conclusions prohibited by Iannacchino, 451 Mass. at 636, that he suffered damages, special or general, as a result of the statement." Thus, the judge properly dismissed the plaintiffs' defamation claims. See Flagg, 466 Mass. at 37-38.
