Minn. R. Civ. P. 12.02 makes clear that if such a defense is made after the responsive pleading, and the court is presented with evidence outside the pleadings, the motion is treated as a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56.

State Farm Fire & Cas. v. Aquila Inc., 718 N.W.2d 879, 883 (Minn. 2006). In determining a motion for summary judgment, the court views the evidence in a light most favorable to the non-moving party.
