Hill, Chief Justice,
concurring specially.
Although I concur in the judgment of reversal, I do so for reasons different from those stated by the majority.
The defendant’s motion for summary judgment was heard on October 17, 1983. However, the plaintiff had well over 30 days thereafter in which to file supplementary materials before the court granted the motion in March 1984. Moreover, as I read the June 1984, nunc pro tunc order, it put on the record that at the October 17, 1983, hearing the plaintiff had been allowed 30 days in which to file supplementary materials. I do not read that order, as do the majority, as purporting in June 1984, to give the defendant the right to file supplementary materials within 30 days of October 17, 1983.
However, as I find genuine issues of material fact and no basis for sustaining the defense of laches as to a continuing nuisance, I concur in the reversal of the grant of summary judgment to the defendant.
