A '''12(b)(6)''', named after the subsection of the [[Federal Rules of Civil Procedure]] on which it is based, is a [[motion]] that is filed by a [[defendant]] in the opening stages of a [[Federal]] [[civil]] case.  The motion declares that there is a "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted," or in other words, even assuming the allegations made by the [[plaintiff]] are true, there is no [[legal]] basis for relief.
