Typical basic motions to dismiss usually fall into these main categories:

1. This isn't the right court (jurisdiction)

2. We're not the right parties (standing/jurisdiction)

3. It's too late (statute of limitations)

4. No law has been broken (failure to state claim)

5. Nobody was really harmed (failure to state claim)

Typically it's numbers 4 and 5 that would matter for a frivolous lawsuit. If you want to see what that kind of lawsuit and a successful motion to dismiss look like here's a good example:
