885 charsDiscussion. 1. Standard of review. A motion for judgment on the pleadings under Mass. R. Civ. P. 12 (c), 365 Mass. 756 (1974), is a request for dismissal of the complaint, which we review under a de novo standard. Merriam v. Demoulas Super Mkts., Inc., 464 Mass. 721, 726 (2013). "We consider whether the factual allegations in the complaint are sufficient, as a matter of law, to state a recognized cause of action or claim, and whether such allegations plausibly suggest an entitlement to relief." Dartmouth v. Greater New Bedford Regional VocationalTech. High Sch. Dist., 461 Mass. 366, 374, (2012). The factual allegations of the nonmoving party are assumed to be true, Champa v. Weston Pub. Sch., 473 Mass. 86, 90 (2015), and our review is limited "to the surface of the complaint and the answer." Ridgeley Mgt. Corp. v. Planning Bd. of Gosnold, 82 Mass. App. Ct. 793, 801 (2012).
