    RED REALTY OF GEORGIA, INC. et al. v. TENNENT et al.
   Per curiam.

Red Realty of Georgia, Inc., sought to enjoin the construction of a commercial building adjacent to its supermarket in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, on the grounds that a variance had been illegally granted to the defendants. The trial court, without ruling on the variance issues, denied both a temporary and permanent injunction due to laches. The evidence supports the trial court’s ruling and we affirm.
