OPINION

KALITOWSKI, Judge.

Appellants challenge the trial court’s dismissal of Counts I, II, III, IV, V and VII of their third-party complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted under Minn.R.Civ.P. 12.02(5).

FACTS

The only question for our review in examining a dismissal of a complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted is whether the complaint sets forth a legally sufficient claim for relief; it is immaterial whether or not the party against whom dismissal is sought can prove any of the facts alleged.
